Hard disagree. My text is my text and I want it how I typed it. I hate how I constantly have to disable auto bullshit on every device and in every program and half the time these days there isn’t even a setting for that anymore.
If I type two hyphens, it’s because I wanted two hyphens.
Similarly, emoticons being converted to emojis without my consent also annoys me.
Alt-codes are for nerds

I really think more text formatting should do as mobile devices do and just auto convert two hyphens into an em dash. Make it simple, i beg.

Two hyphens are an en-dash. Try 3 for em. Filthy casuals!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key
I set my caps lock key to the Compose Key (ck), and it changed the game for me:
I’m sure there’s many more combinations, but honestly, I never intentionally used CAPS LOCK for anything.
One of the windows keys is a compose key here. Has been that way for years (trivial to add in kde)
I don’t trust people who don’t have caps lock mapped to escape though, compose key or not.
