Well, it doesn't work like the ligature break, because
the ligature break does not prevent a line from ending
in <space><hyphen>
with "ism" on the next line.  While this command actually works.

Or did you merely mean that this new thing - once implemented - should
look like a ligature break on screen?

I think the better way would be 
"insert->special char->non-hyphenating dash"
In the main window it would be a plain dash, but colored red
the same way a nonbreaking space or hfill is red.  (Light blue dash is
already used up for hyphenation points.)
