Harmony remote setup
#1
So i have a harmony hub and remote setup for my kodi on my mac.  Pretty straight forward.  But the back key doesn't work like it should.  In the harmony software setup there is a "back" command but it doesn't do anything in kodi.  I want it to work like the backspace key on the keyboard.  Has anyone ran into this or know what to do?  I can set it to use the "escape" command but that takes me all the way to the home screen when sometimes i just want to back out of a tv show season.  Any help?

Map the Back Button to the Backspace Key, thats the default Key for "back" in Kodi. Thats how i did it.

Picked up a harmony home + hub for about $60 on sale and couldnt be happier.
Paired the hub to the PC via Bluetooth and it acts like a bluetooth keyboard.

Every button on the remote can map as two keyboard action via short press (sp) and long press (lp).

I setup my keys as follows.

EXIT
sp = Back
lp = Alt+F4 (Allows holding exit to close whatever program is open or reboot PC)

Blue Line
sp = Ctrl+Alt+4  (Kodi Shortcut Launch Keys)

Red Line
sp = Ctrl+Alt+1 (Shortcut launches youtube.com/tv in chrome app)

Guide
sp = h  (TV channels)
lp = e  (Episode Guide)

Info
sp = i   (Information Screen)

E
sp = Alt+Enter   (Full screen Kodi)
lp = F11        (Fullscreen youtube)


Everything else worked out of the box and I didn't change.
