I'm with David S. on this. oXygen is an editor, not a word processor. So if you (SyncRO) create such a feature, please leave it disabled by default.
I tend to disagree -- oXygen has two different products hidden below "Text" and "Author" tabs. From author mode one would expect word processor like features and current auto-correct options for smart quotes can already be enabled/disabled. Of course in text mode editor shouldn't mess with typed characters.
That said, David's right. It's plenty easy to insert an en-dash or an em-dash in Mac OS X using the standard input method. One could also use the Unicode Hex input method (opt-2 opt-0 opt-1 opt-4, e.g.). Not as convenient, but it allows insertion of arbitrary Unicode characters.
