Can't get delete key to work on Harmony remote

Highlight the recording, right click mouse button equivalent and select delete.

Have you also added the mapping of the Harmony Clear button-send to the Kodi Delete function in .Kodi\userdata\keymaps\keymap.xml ?

In the Harmony software I have the Clear button set to send the Clear keypress and change it's function, once received, in the keymap instead.

e.g. snippets from my keymap.xml

...
  <MyFiles>
    <remote>
      <clear>Delete</clear>
      <zero>Highlight</zero>
      <star>Move</star>
      <hash>Rename</hash>
      <menu>ContextMenu</menu>
    </remote>
  </MyFiles>
...
  <MyMusicPlaylist>
    <remote>
      <clear>Delete</clear>
    </remote>
  </MyMusicPlaylist>
...
  <MyVideoLibrary>
    <remote>
      <zero>Queue</zero>
      <clear>Delete</clear>
      <menu>ContextMenu</menu>
     </remote>
  </MyVideoLibrary>
...
  <MyVideoPlaylist>
    <remote>
      <clear>Delete</clear>
      <zero>Delete</zero>
    </remote>
  </MyVideoPlaylist>
...
etc.

I'm using the Harmony Hub + RF remote + IR blaster to USB MCE receiver but the principle should be the same with Harmony 665 + Flirc IR receiver.

Hi,

I had something similar, I'm using MCE remotes (HP) and tried to assign a button to open the context menu. When I tried to use the "#" button, in file manager, always opened the "rename" menu instead of the context. Then I tried to use the "yellow" and works perfectly. I think some ("special") remote buttons can't be reassigned in the .xml file. As I resolved what I want with "yellow" button, I didn't continued to search a solution for the "#" button remap...
