sorry but I have no idea what you are talking about

En dash and em dash are long hyphens, on Windows you would type two hyphens and it turns into one long dash. But on Linux there is no convenient way to do it. I want to configure a key combination such as alt + - that will output an En dash. On Autohotkey for Windows, you would do something like this: ; Alt+Minus = En dash !-:: Send {–} return

Ah, ok, right, doesn't seem to work. On my system, not even sending a normal dash works... worrying.

This is related to #32 and will be fixed, I presume, in no sooner than 3 months

You might want to look into compose key.

The ArchWiki’s Xorg keyboard configuration article has a section on how to set compose key up for Arch Linux. If you use a different distribution there might be some differences, so consult your own distribution’s documentation as well.
