  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.
