Most people aren't even aware there's a "real" (or rather, fake) minus sign. I didn't know until reading this thread. The hyphen is right next to the +/= key, so it's not unreasonable at all to think the _/- key is minus.
- xelamonster 2y agoYeah I had no idea either, but I'm sorry to say it's going in the same bucket as using a real em-dash vs a double hypen--if it's not on my keyboard it's not gonna happen.
- airstrike 2y agoMac OS has option+- for en dash and option+shift+- for em dash. I used to add similar bindings on Windows via AutoHotkey (which is an amazing app all around...) There's also option+space for and other goodies. I recently added option+x for "checkmark x" and option+v for "checkmark v" since I like dropping those around more often than I should...
- kaechle 2y agoThis. Em dashes are—as punctuation goes—downright sexy, so I committed shift+opt+- to muscle memory long ago. And it's arguably less work than a bucked-toothed double hyphen. Btw, if you haven't already, check out Karabiner on macOS for AutoHotkey-esque functionality.
- twic 2y agoThat's hyphen-minus, which is both a hyphen AND a minus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyphen-minus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyphen-minus
