- Press ⌘+⌃+Space bar
- Type lamda into the search bar. Pay attention to type lamda instead of lambda
- You lamda should be there:
Just to be clear: The ⌃ character symbolises the Control key. Here is a website about Mac keyboard shortcuts: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201236.
I use the Emojis and Symbols menu to plug in characters I can’t type via the keyboard. Awkward, but it works. (PS – If you happen to be working in Microsoft Word, it’s dead easy – in preferences, enable “Math Autocorrect” outside of math fields, then type lambda to insert it.)
If you have access to Vim/gVim (the editor, which seems to go by the MacVim name on Mac), go into INSERT mode, press Ctrl + k followed by * followed by l. A λ character will be produced.
Copy that into the clipboard and you’re good to go.
You can do this for other Greek letters too, just replace l with a, b, c, d etc. You can also get upper case versions of those letters by just entering them as… upper case!
That applies to other Vim distributions as well.
