How to put em dash and book quotes in Sublime Text 3?

Question

Sublime Text

Hello. I never googled how to put em dashes in a sublime. For now, I copy the dashes in another place, select all the short dashes in the text that are placed in the sublime by default, and replace them with long ones, and then, as I write, I copy-paste the em dash in the right place. Maybe there is some modern way in prefernces ? I'm not good with English, and it's not clear how to be able to use both an em dash and a hyphen. In VK in the article editor, a regular hyphen is put, but after pressing the space after placing the hyphen, it is converted to an em dash - great. Is there such a feature in sublime? I love Sublime very much and I write everything exclusively in it, and the Word is nauseating for me =)

Answer 1

Go to the sublime settings and open the keybindings. Preferences → Key Bindings. A window will open divided into two parts, on the left - default hotkeys, on the right - custom. Accordingly, the following entry should be inserted on the right side:

{"keys": ["alt+shift+-"], "command": "insert_snippet", "args": {"contents": "–"}}

And save, for example, by pressing ctrl+s , after which the hotkey window can be closed, and an em dash will be inserted by pressing alt+shift+-
