For those who like their em dashes 🤗cozier🤗 (no spaces, triple hyphen)

This version of AutoDash avoids the conflict with the CLI convention of two hyphens by just listening for "---" (three hyphens).

In short, you type "---", and it's replaced with " — "

Your computer is likely going to scream "VIRUS!"—it's not. If you have trust issues, feel free to browse the 3 lines of code that make up AutoDash.

First Working Version

It works, but doesn't take into consideration edge cases like when you want to use --help on a CLI or something similar.

We support both major camps of Em Dashers:

Once you start AutoDash,

• if you type "--" it will turn into "—"
• if you type " - " it will turn into " — ".
