To type a long hyphen, also known as an em dash (—), you can use keyboard shortcuts depending on your device. On Windows, press "Alt" + "0151" on the numeric keypad, while on Mac, press "Shift" + "Option" + "Minus." In many word processing programs, you can also type two hyphens in a row, and it will automatically convert to an em dash.
