Are you a Mac user and a grammar fan? Here's a tip for typing your favorite dashes. No mouse required!

The en dash – can be typed easily by using Option+- (That’s hold the Option key while typing the dash).

The em dash — can be typed easily by using Option+Shift+- (That’s hold the Option and Shift keys while typing the dash).

@awoodsnet How would you use your mouse to get them? Open up the character viewer?

@ramsey yes. exactly. The character viewer is much slower, but it's quite helpful when you don’t know how to use it. For this post, I only mention the different dash styles, so people can focus on learning the keyboard muscle memory.
