Ctrl+Shift+Hyphen inserts a nonbreaking hyphen, not an en-dash. AFAIK, there
is no nonbreaking en dash, but you can fake it by using the minus sign
(U2212), which is virtually identical and also nonbreaking.

In Swedish typographical rules intervals are specified using an en dash
rather than a normal hyphen (for example "the pipe must be 10--12 feet
long"). Inserting one isn't a problem. What is a problem is to avoid
breaking
the line at the en dash. Can it be done? If so, how?
