    Alt+0151

    Do you feel like that’d be a lot of trouble and that you’d never feel like wasting energy on it? I get that, but I just got used to it and don’t even notice really. I just really prefer — to - in a lot of contexts.

        I have a Nordic layout and I remember any symbols I might need.
