Description of the new feature / enhancement

The en dash (U+2013) is included in the Special Characters set.

Scenario when this would be used?

The en dash is one of the few line characters commonly used in English and other languages. It is one of the three major line characters (hyphen, en dash, and em dash) taught in English classes. It is used for ranges (10–20), relationships (New York–London flight), and some compound adjectives.

Supporting information

I was surprised to see that Quick Accents includes extremely rare hyphens/dashes while leaving out one of the three major line characters used today. It even includes the hyphen, which, as far as I know, is already available on most if not all keyboards. If those characters are included, then the en dash should be included as well.
