Actually, I'm using linux.  LyX 2.4.0~RC3.

I am using 'Book w/extra fonts' as document class. I checked and with standard document class, it --- works.

More likely this a problem with the document class. I will repost.

Thanks.

Huh, three dashes just turn into an em dash for me. I'm using a Mac, but that seems like that should be a standard interface thing. (I assume you're using Windows given the "Ctl-l" hotkey you mention.)

    Is there a way to type this in the interface?

I believe that in Windows 11 Win + Shift + <minus key> generates an emdash (similar to Opt + Shift + <minus key> on the Mac). If that doesn't work, you might try AutoHotKey or the like to set up a simple text replacement.
