List of Ways to Make Some Dashes:
| Method name | How to do it |
|---|---|
| Modifier keys | Ctrl + Shift + - for En dash (–) Ctrl + Shift + Alt + - for Em dash (—) |
| Inline Replace | Type --= for En dash (–) Type ==- for Em dash (—) |
| Hard Replace | Replaces hyphen (-) with En dash (–) all the time (this is probably a bad idea) |
That's all there is to it! If you have some other way you would like implemented, then send me a message!
