    I manually input the em dash (—) with my keyboard instead of just using the nornal dash. (-)

    Alt+0151

    Do you feel like that’d be a lot of trouble and that you’d never feel like wasting energy on it? I get that, but I just got used to it and don’t even notice really. I just really prefer — to - in a lot of contexts.

        I have a Nordic layout and I remember any symbols I might need.

        Never felt like inputs have been an issue. I see installing some random software as much more complicated than pressing five keys instead of two keys.

        in a research paper

        Well yeah there are contexts in which it matters. That’s why I know the alt code for it. :D
