Alt-codes are for nerds

- 60% gang

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.

    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.
