BTW- wanted to confirm it happens on Mac also (I have a Das Keyboard, no weird mappings)

On macOS MBP to reproduce you need to use Fn+Delete which is the actual keycode for delete. The Delete key on MBP is actually backspace which works fine.

Would like to have this in the next hotfix if someone can grab it.
