You can have hyphen replaced with underscore. Put "-=>_" in URL replacements.

I tried that, I still have "%11". and to be honnest it's quite silly since I want  "-" and not" _". the simplest way would be, I think, when we put "-" which is now the setting by default in sef advance, your programm does not replace "-" by something else when he finds it.
or a setting to replace "%11" with "-". I think you had such a setting in a older version to replace %11 with something else.

You can't have "-" in articles if you use "-" as word separator. It's as simple as that. That's why when you have "-" as word separator the system is replacing all hyphens that you have in titles with %11.

If you don't want %11 in URLs either use underscore "_" as word separator or have your hyphens replaced with something else (like underscore or whatever, as suggested above).

I understand that, but I can't change more than 2.000 articles. I hoped it would be possible to change %11 for something else, more elegant. but since it's not possible...

It IS possible. As I said use URL replacements:
-=>whatever_you_want

It is working, if not - you are doing something wrong.

See the attached picture. There you can see how I have replacement -=>_
This way my article called "Software co-existance" will appear as:
/software-co_existance/
instead of
/software-co%11existance/
