Also note that you can insert endash and emdash characters in texmacs
if you add the following texmacs to your
~/.TeXmacs/progs/my-init-texmacs.scm file:

  (kbd-map in-text?
    ("- -" "^U")
    ("- - -" "^V"))

Where ^U and ^V is a single character. You can type ^U in emacs using
"Ctrl-q u" or in vi by pressing "Ctrl-v Ctrl-U" in edit mode. You can
type ^V in emacs using "Ctrl-q v" or in vi by pressing "Ctrl-v Ctrl-V"
in edit mode.

These shortcuts are actually defined in kbd-text.scm, but for some
reason they are commented out.
