Was replying to @lemerks about this...... until I figure out a good place on my 'site to put this, I want to share it here! If you want to write one of these things: — (they call them "em dashes"), I've got a script on my computer that does this! I use a program for Windows called "AutoHotkey", if I press and hold down [ALT + -] (the regular en dash you're used to) at the same time, it'll make one of — these guys!

You'll make an .ahk file with this inside as the contents: !-:: { Send "—" }
^ A file with just that inside, exactly like that! http://www.autohotkey.com — I use the 2.0 version I've got to figure out a way to do the same thing with a similar program on Linux; it's a Windows program................
I hope this helps others who really want to write — one of these things And if there's a more practical way of doing it and if there's a better way of doing this, let me know! We all learn from each other
