Windows is getting a better em dash keyboard shortcut.
Rejoice, Windows and em dash fans! Microsoft is finally adding an improved Windows-wide keyboard shortcut for em dash and en dash. The change is part of the latest Windows 11 Dev channel builds, so it should arrive for all Windows 11 users later this year. Currently, you have to use Alt+0151 for an en dash (–) and Alt+0150 to get em dash (—), which is problematic on smaller keyboards.
