You did similar changes in the past. Why did you remove long dashes by
"---"? Using three characters to get one in the output is unintuitive
and confuses newbies. Thanks to our Unicode support we can directly
use all types of dashes.
You mean searching in the Symbol dialog for something that matches?
Is that the 'intuitive' solution for newbies?
Sure, because you do the same in all other text editors and Word-like applications. I was often
asked in the past why there are two or three subsequent dashes and it is hard to explain that they
become one in the output but not within LyX.
At least our documentation files should therefore contain the correct characters. People can
copy/paste them to their documents.
Another point is that "---" is a command and the only case where you enter LaTeX commands in LyX
outside of math and TeX mode (ERT).
