About this tag
The tag 'win minus shortcut' covers a new Windows 11 keyboard shortcut that inserts an en dash (–) using Win + Minus and an em dash (—) using Win + Shift + Minus. This feature, currently rolling out to Windows 11 Insiders in the Dev Channel, is a productivity enhancement for text input. A caveat exists: the Magnifier tool may interfere with the shortcut, as it uses Win + Minus to zoom out. Users should be aware of this conflict when using both features. The tag focuses on this specific shortcut addition and its practical implications for Windows users.
