Two remarks for something Syd said:
BUT the keyboard shortcut for inserting arbitrary Unicode characters using my Ubuntu 14.04 system (ctl-shift-u 2 0 1 4 ret) does NOT work in oXygen, and I really wish it did.
We'll look into this. And to something that Jirka said:
Well, on Windows its Alt + 0 1 5 0 which is really headache compared to - -
We also have plans to allow keyboard shortcuts to be assigned to a defined code template. So you could define a code template for inserting m-dash and assign a simpler keyboard shortcut to it.

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.
