- dragonwriter 1y ago> Feature request 2: Em-dash regular-dash ratio. What's a “regular dash”? Hyphen-minus (which isn't even a dash at all)? En-dash? Figure dash?
- LeoPanthera 1y agoHyphen minus, yes. The one on your keyboard.
- layer8 1y agoKeys on the keyboard aren’t characters.
- LeoPanthera 1y agoPointless bickering. The minus sign on your keyboard is what 99% of people will hit when they want a dash.
- layer8 1y agoMy point is there’s a whole software stack that determines what character is actually output when you hit that key, based on locale and IME, and also depending on the application. You meant to indicate a specific character, but specifying a key is a bad way to do that. Keyboard controllers don’t work in terms of characters. I could easily configure my OS to output U+2010 HYPHEN for that key by default, for example, and might actually do that for a typesetting application.
