Hi there,
to otbain what you look for you need to use wildcard autocorrection which is a
new feature of 4.2.x (feature is full functional in 4.2.4.2 and above)
see release notes at the end of Writer section:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.2#Writer

enter the autocorrect replacement table and add an entry like:

Replace: .*-- 
With: –    

if you have already set an entry like:
Replace: -- 
With: –   
you should remove it to avoid conflicts.

beware solution is not 100% complete since

"--" will be corrected to "–"
"test--" will be corrected to "test–"

but "test--drive" will not be corrected to "test–drive" and will remain
"test--drive"

I will ping the developer of the autocorrect wilcard feature to ask him if
there's a way we trigger the autocorrection even when it's in the middle of a
compound word
