As Guillaume pointed out, there are use cases for the dashes with and without line break opportunity. (See also the attachments to https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10543) As inserting a breaking opportunity is far more easy than ovoiding a line break and there are use cases for both, I prefer \textemdash over ---. lyx2lyx could be fixed to convert --- to \textemdash\allowbreak{} Unfortunately, this will not cure documents broken by the conversion to 2.2-format. However, there is no easy cure as with the EM-DASH in the converted source, we cannot tell whether this was a literal EM-DASH before or a ---. > The idea of introducing a LFUN so that the behaviour of the - key is not > hard-coded sounds good as well.
