Alt + 0151, baby! Or... however you do it on MacOS.

But now, likewise, having to bail on emdashes. My last differentiator is that I always close set the emdash—no spaces on either side, whereas ChatGPT typically opens them (AP Style).





Just use some typography layout with a separate layer. Eg “right alt” plus “-” for m-dash

Russians use this for at least 15 years

I'm a savage, I just copy-paste them from Unicode sites.

But anyway, it’s option-hyphen for a en-dash and opt-shift-hyphen for the em-dash.

I also just stopped using them a couple years ago when the meme about AI using them picked up steam.
