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.
