        @volpeon ngl I actually just use two dashes-- because I'm far too lazy to find/memorize the unicode or compose key combo for it :'3

            @anthropy I started doing them properly once I realized on Linux they're simple to enter with Shift+Alt+- (also Alt+- for en dash). ​​

              @volpeon which desktop is that? for me it doesn't work (plasma, fedora 42). I think that requires compose keys to be on which I don't even have right now xD I tend to default to whatever is available the most widely; also on smartphones and other devices and (CLI) environments normal dashes are more accessible I guess.

              But just because I'm curious, let's try turn on compose keys ­— .. no actually it's compose key + hit - a few times? which is intuitive but I don't always have this available ig

                @anthropy GNOME, but I think I could do it before on other DEs. I never intentionally enabled anything fancy, I just went with the "de" keyboard layout in the installer and it just worked™ ​​

                  @anthropy Compose key is disabled, but there's a setting to type alternate symbols with the right Alt key. That must be it since Alt(left)+- does nothing
