I have a problem with delete and backspace keys.

In Windows I get this for the delete and backspace key.

On the Pi3 I get this for the delete and backspace key.

On the Pi3 both keys is treated as backspace. I have checked the settings in Kodi on both Pi3 and Windows and both have same character set and keyboard layout. And both uses the same keybord.xml file.

This is the version I'm using on Pi3.

I would suggest to look at: http://kodi.wiki/view/Keymap

Could you also suggest what I should look for there? I mentioned that both the Windows computer and the Pi3 uses the same keyboard.xml file, so I don't know what to look for on that page.

you would have known yourself, if you ever had looked at that page

Some keys can be "mapped" to different usages. So you could map your key to a different one or check if any keymap is present and maybe change that. It's all in that wiki

There is also a keymap editor add-on you could use

Yes, but I'm using the exactly same keymap on both the Windows computer and on the Pi3, as I explained. So then I don't understand reading that page how it could help me?
Shouldn't the same keymap result in the same actions even if it is on two different computers? I must be missing something here.

Are you using a v17 build on Windows? IIRC, the keymap changed in v17 for "back" to always be "back".

I'm using v16 on Windows. If I try to install v17 I get a python27.dll error and it wont start.
What does "back to always be back" mean? I cant map/use the delete key anymore?

Looking at the log it seems to me that Kodi registers that two different buttons is pressed on the Pi3(v17), but uses the same action on both.

But this could be a difference between v16 and v17 and is by design?

Maybe we don´t understand each other ....

you said:

And both uses the same keybord.xml file.

then you said:

you never mentioned you use the same keymap.xml.

keyboard.xml and keymap.xml is a bit different. Except you meant keymap.xml as you said "keyboard.xml".

The default keymap file for a keyboard is called keyboard.xml. I copied it from the Kodi installation folder and used that as a starting point when I made changes for my own needs. So maybe it was a little misunderstanding since I thought that was the right thing to call it?
