#### How to use:

1. Download the latest release (link above or run `choco install em-n-en` to install via [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/packages/em-n-en))

1. Put it in its own folder

1. Run it (double click on it)

1. Choose your options – there is one recommended by default

1. Tell it to "Start on Windows Startup"

1. Click "Ok"

1. Profit :smile:

Now, Em-n-en will live in your tray – accessible by its icon. Look forward to better writing!

If you ever want to remove Em-n-en, just run it, right-click on the tray icon, click "Reset" and then delete its folder.

#### List of Ways to Make Some Dashes:

| Method name    | How to do it |

| :---------:    | :----------: |

| Modifier keys  |  Ctrl + Shift + - for **En dash** (–) 
 Ctrl + Shift + Alt + - for **Em dash** (—) |

| Inline Replace |  Type `--=` for **En dash** (–) 
 Type `==-` for **Em dash** (—) |

| Hard Replace   |  Replaces hyphen (-) with **En dash** (–) all the time (*this is probably a bad idea*) |

That's all there is to it! If you have some other way you would like implemented, then [send me a message!]([email protected])
