Annoyingly, HID uses some confusing labels for the two usages here:

You want "Keyboard Delete Forward" to get delete. We probably could stand to use our label overrides in the dropdown too, to avoid this confusion though.

Aah ok I see now.... I wasn't aware of this. Imo the label overrides would be helpful.

+1 for Label overrides. The whole world nowadays calls Delete (Backspace) "Backspace", and Forward Delete "Delete". It's also labelled this way in keymap code as BSPC and DEL.
