How do you type em-dash on a keyboard?
- Jeremy1026 2y agoOn MacOS `--` converts to `—` automatically in most applications/text inputs.
- solardev 2y agoOption-dash works too.
- Jeremy1026 2y agoThat is actually another character. - is \u002d Option+Dash is \u2013 -- converts to \u2014
- solardev 2y agoAh, thanks for the clarification! TIL. Option-dash is an en-dash (\u2013) Shift-option-dash will render the em-dash (\u2014), (as will --, if it gets autocorrected). https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/em-dash-en-dash-how-to-use https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/em-dash-en-dash-how-... for those wondering what the differences are.
- dualogy 2y agoOn all my Linux setups so far for years now, on German keyboard layouts, AltGr+- and AltGr+Shift+- always worked oob for me for – and —. I easily just got used to using them, things read better than with minuses.
