I'm using OOo Writer in both Linux and Windows. In Windows, I have been using
also MS Word, in which I can use Ctrl+Alt+Num- (minus) by default to type the
m-dash. In Linux, it is easy to assign the m-dash to a Compose Key (I'm using
the left & right Win_key+hyphen) so that it works not only in OOo but also in
the web browser, etc. 

My problem is that as I work in different system environments and with two or
three different word processors (more and more exclusively with OOo, however),
and it's a bit inconvenient having to remember the different key combinations in
each of them. (In Linux, it's easy to remember that the Win-key is the compose
key, because no other function has been assigned to it.)

Now it would be nice if I could assign an m-dash macro e.g. to the key
combination Ctrl+Alt+Num- in the Windows version of OOo Writer - this seems to
be no option, since there are only a few key combinations available, as far as I
know. I had to assign em-dash to Ctrl+m. There should be more options for key
combinations, I think, as has been argued in this thread already.
