Global Send Keys internally uses System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys so characters like braces or parentheses must be escaped.

One way of doing it is using a Calculation stage with several Replace instructions, replacing the problematic characters with the escaped version.

For more information about System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys check the following MSDN link https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.sendkeys(v=vs.110).aspx
