[oXygen-user] Easy insertion of en/em-dash

I'm with David S. on this. oXygen is an editor, not a word
processor. So if you (SyncRO) create such a feature, please leave it
disabled by default.

That said, David's right. It's plenty easy to insert an en-dash or an
em-dash in Mac OS X using the standard input method. One could also
use the Unicode Hex input method (opt-2 opt-0 opt-1 opt-4, e.g.). Not
as convenient, but it allows insertion of arbitrary Unicode
characters. 

BUT the keyboard shortcut for inserting arbitrary Unicode characters
using my Ubuntu 14.04 system (ctl-shift-u 2 0 1 4 ret) does NOT work
in oXygen, and I really wish it did.
