"The latest Windows Insider builds in the Dev and Beta channels include a new feature that allows you to type either kind of dash with simple keyboard shortcuts that even work if you don't have a number pad. Once users activate the feature, they can hit: Windows key + dash key (-) for en dash Windows key + Shift + dash key (-) for em dash"
"While it seems likely that Microsoft will soon add these keyboard shortcuts to production versions of Windows 11, right now, you need to be running an Insider build in the Dev channel (build 26200.5761 or higher) or the Beta channel (26120.5770 or higher). You also need to activate the shortcuts using the ViveTool. ViveTool is a free utility that activates hidden features of Windows that Microsoft hasn't turned on yet for everyone (perhaps they are A/B testing with some users getting it turned on)."
"To enable the shortcuts to create em and en dashes, first make sure you are running the latest Beta or Dev channel build. You can see your build number by running the winver command and you can join the Insider program, if you're not in it already, by navigating to Settings->Windows Update->Windows Insider Program, clicking Get Started, and choosing the Beta or Dev channel. Be warned that Insider builds can have bugs and stability issues that the release build of Windows does not."
Latest Windows Insider builds in the Dev and Beta channels add keyboard shortcuts to type en and em dashes. Shortcuts: Windows key + dash for en dash; Windows key + Shift + dash for em dash. Activation requires running Dev build 26200.5761+ or Beta build 26120.5770+ and enabling the feature with ViveTool. ViveTool is a free utility that unlocks hidden Windows features. Joining the Windows Insider Program and running winver reveals the build number. ViveTool must be downloaded, unzipped (for example to C:\vive), and run from an elevated command prompt. Insider builds may include bugs and stability issues.
