> Eyal, does this solve your problem?

No, for two reasons:

1. You don't want to always replace minus sign (-) with Maqaf (־). It's
context-dependent. There are no Maqaf's after or before spaces (AFAIK), for
example. You also want to make sure it's not a hyphen between numbers. etc.

2. The replacement is not defined by default. I'm asking for something that
will be defined and enabled once AutoCorrect is enabled and the user is writing
Hebrew text.

This effort has already been expended for replacement of minus signs by
en-dashes, which also happens in specific contexts.

I'm not sure what you mean by other characters, but: We have AutoCorrect for
double quotes, single quotes, and dashes. Maqaf is a kind of dash, so it is, in
principle, covered by the current scope of AutoCorrect.
