C＃Sendkeys如何发送波浪号而不发送回车

Question

In my code, I am trying to send a tilde (~) to the users program. Everytime I send ~ it presses enter and the code does not get to continue sending the rest of the keys.

I have tried:

SendKeys.SendWait("([~])");
SendKeys.SendWait("~");
SendKeys.SendWait("{[~]}");

they all just press the enter button and don't send the actual tilde

Answer 1

The documentation says:

The plus sign (+), caret (^), percent sign (%), tilde (~), and parentheses () have special meanings to SendKeys. To specify one of these characters, enclose it within braces ({}). For example, to specify the plus sign, use "{+}". To specify brace characters, use "{{}" and "{}}". Brackets ([ ]) have no special meaning to SendKeys, but you must enclose them in braces.

So this should work:

SendKeys.SendWait("{~}");

The documentation also remarks:

If your application is intended for international use with a variety of keyboards, the use of Send could yield unpredictable results and should be avoided.

Answer 2

According to the documentation, the correct way is to enclose it in curly braces as @user1071777 said.

The plus sign (+), caret (^), percent sign (%), tilde (~), and parentheses () have special meanings to SendKeys. To specify one of these characters, enclose it within braces ({}). For example, to specify the plus sign, use "{+}".
