That's was I was wondering. How do I write an Em dash on a keyboard? I've always just used a hyphen for this (but I'd like to do it right).

- rebelde 13y agoI have used MS's Keyboard Layout Creator to add those — and many others — to my keyboard. Right-alt-minus for en–dash and shift-right-alt-minus for em—dash. What I really want is for my keyboard to act like my mobile phone keyboard — a long press to see similar characters. Anybody care to code it?
- zokier 13y agoCustom layouts FTW. I have the following line in my layout configuration (Linux/xkb): key <AE11> { [ minus, underscore, endash, emdash ] };
- nucleardog 13y agoThat's what my Macbook does. It actually drives me crazy because you lose key repeat. You have to furiously mash keys in vim, no holding them down.

- rebelde 13y agoMacs do that??? I'm surprised that I never discovered it on the wife's Mac. I deal with other languages so much, this might be the one thing that tips me toward using one.
