The m-dash--represented in typescript by two hyphens (or n-dashes??) as shown here--is used to separate interjections that might equally be indicated by parentheses or (god help us!) by footnotes, so they are really separators rather than connectors. I'm not sure my keyboard can produce all three (Mac), but the shortest one is typed as a lower-case hyphen and the m-dash as Shift-Option-hyphen.
No, opt-s-hyphen produces the em dash. The en dash is option-hyphen; however, many fonts do not have an en dash, and use this slot for a "hard" hyphen.
