My pet peeve about Slack as of late is -- is turned into a single, long-dash. Even when you're inside ` or ```.

Which leaves me juggling there on my keyboard, trying to delete one, move my cursor and add a second dash before submitting.



That's the OS, too.


On OS X just disable the dumb quotes and dashes:

System Preferences / Keyboard / Text / Use smart quotes and dashes = off


Thanks! I seriously now owe you ~3h of my life, yearly aggregated.


That's called an em-dash and it's done in the OS usually.
