Default Typing Different Alphabets

Is there anyway to set up a character style such that it will use a
different alphabet?

For example, I would like to have a Greek Character style using Time
New Roman that, when typing an "S" produces a sigma, rather than
having to does INSERT CHARACTER repeatedly.

Setup the Greek language and keyboard in Windows. Use the keyboard shortcut
(normally LEFT ALT + SHIFT) to switch keyboards when entering Greek. If you
need a reminder of the Greek key mappings, use the onscreen keyboard from
the accessibility tools.

What would be the starting point for setting up other languages
alongside english?

Similar problem here.....

Some of my fonts have small capitals. Is there any way to access the
small capitals using the keyboard, rather than Insert Character?

Create a character style with the small caps attribute set and apply it to
text typed normally. The lower case characters will be set as small caps.

Small Caps is a font attribute and it can be toggled on/off just like
italics, bold or underlines. The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+K: just select
the text and execute Ctrl+K.

But if you use this more than just the odd occasion, then follow Graham's
recommendation and create a style for it.
