How to create an elision apostrophe in Galaxie Greek Bookmarklet running in Firefox (Kubuntu 22.04)

The book-marklet app (https://keymanweb.com/#grc-grek,Keyboard_galaxie_greek_positional) works fully as documented, but I couldn’t find a documented way to create an elision apostrophe of the type described at “Greek Punctuation and Syllabification | billmounce.com” section 2. The example given on that page is of “ἀπὸ ἐμοῦ” becoming “ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ”, and you can see that the type of apostrophe looks like soft breathing placed in the space directly following the preceding character (in this case, “π”. I was trying to create " διʼ " (which is an elided form of " δια ", and is the second word of John 1:3) and I was successful, but it required typing “di”, double-spacing, typing “j”, cursoring two spaces back, then pressing “backspace” (with additional right cursor movement required).
I wanted to express my appreciation to the original designer of this keyboard, which is “really” phonetic, and if there’s no way to repair this without inconveniencing others, there’s an acceptable non-SIL alternative in Ubuntu.
Best Wishes to all in this sacred season! :slight_smile:
