[Feature Request] Properly map Command + Backspace to Delete in RDP sessions

[romanvesely]

Hey varp, I tried to map ⌘ + Backspace to act like the Windows Delete key (Del) inside the RDP session.

I attempted the obvious approach with simultaneous, to catch ⌘ + Backspace and emit delete_forward:

"from": {
  "simultaneous": [
    { "key_code": "left_command" },
    { "key_code": "delete_or_backspace" }
  ]
},
"to": [
  { "key_code": "delete_forward" }
]

But this does not work. No delete happens.

I tried various tweaks (simultaneous_options, changing modifier orders, setting lazy flags etc.) but couldn’t get it to trigger a clean forward delete.

fn + Backspace already produces the expected “Entf” behavior in Windows. It’s totally usable and fine – but being able to directly emit a clean forward delete via ⌘ + Backspace (without fn) would be even better, especially for consistency with other remapped shortcuts.

Thanks again for maintaining this incredible project!

If I can help test anything or contribute, I’m happy to!
