How can I send special characters, like braces, brackets, tilde...?
(Surrounding with braces doesn't work.)

I am also searching for a way to send a left brace "{". Can anyone help?

Hidmacros: I think you can't
Luamacros: use lmc_send_input

Option 1: You just have to put in the brace three times: i.e. {{{.
The first two give you an escaping {. For some reason, though (a bug, maybe?), it eats the next character, so if you put sqroot{{G64}, it'll spit out sqroot{64}. So, the third brace fixes that.
The right brace } is fine unless a non-escaping brace exists.
Option 2 (necessary for parentheses?): Just use the shift function, +. So, on standard keyboards, parentheses are +9 and +0; braces are +[ and +]. You can also get the + key this way: +=. Tilde is +`.
I don't have any trouble with brackets.
