Microsoft is finally adding a real em-dash shortcut to Windows 11 – just as AI made you want to stop using it

The new three-key shortcut makes accessing em dashes much simpler, matching functionality Mac users have enjoyed for years. However, the timing is ironic since AI writing tools frequently use em dashes, potentially making human writing appear AI-generated when using this punctuation.
