    Two hyphens are an en-dash. Try 3 for em. Filthy casuals!

    (Obvious /s but yea don’t mean to insult.)

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key

      I set my caps lock key to the Compose Key (ck), and it changed the game for me:

      • — is ck then "—"
      • é is ck then “e” followed by '
      • ° is ck then double "o"
      • ½ is ck then “1” followed by “2”

      I’m sure there’s many more combinations, but honestly, I never intentionally used CAPS LOCK for anything.

        One of the windows keys is a compose key here. Has been that way for years (trivial to add in kde)

        I don’t trust people who don’t have caps lock mapped to escape though, compose key or not.

    Hard disagree. My text is my text and I want it how I typed it. I hate how I constantly have to disable auto bullshit on every device and in every program and half the time these days there isn’t even a setting for that anymore.

    If I type two hyphens, it’s because I wanted two hyphens.

    Similarly, emoticons being converted to emojis without my consent also annoys me.
