To specify keys combined with any combination of the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys, precede the key code with one or more of the following codes:
Key Code
SHIFT +
CTRL ^
ALT %


To specify that any combination of SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT should be held down while several other keys are pressed, enclose the code for those keys in parentheses. For example, to specify to hold down SHIFT while E and C are pressed, use "+(EC)". To specify to hold down SHIFT while E is pressed, followed by C without SHIFT, use "+EC".

So I am guessing that I can't use the Bracket keys as a send key suck as a combo like:
CTRL+SHIFT+]
Because I don't see anything that says something about "[" "]" those keys.
