There is an easy shortcut for em dashes on macOS, Opt+Shift+-. This makes it really easy to use them, which I do all the time in casual settings (indeed, more often than in formal settings).


Autocomplete does that for me (bilingual English/Portuguese).

And a very easy shortcut in emacs: C-x M-c M-butterfly-dash
