This makes sense, I always use 2D-input (default) so I hadn't even thought about looking deeper into that possibility.

However, the way TomLeslie described didn't work for me - see screenshot below. The first three are in 2D, the last two in Maple Input. The final one, which worked, needed round brackets instead of square ones. Apparently, that's important too - even in Maple Input.

@Carl Love That works like a charm!
I now know how to get rid of the >.

However, is there even another way so I won't get the [ either?

@Carl Love Thank you for the clearification. Too bad...

@Kitonum Thank you - that is exactly what I was looking for!
