Fine with me. So why does the code map DEL into BS?

No, it works fine if you remove the code that maps 127->8.
ST knows about DEL and does the right thing (forward delete).

Well, I have a very compressed keyboard (the PFU Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite)
that lets you juggle the keyboard layout. So the key marked "Delete" I have
generate a BS, and the key that is marked Del generates a DEL. You have choices,
though.

See http://www.pfuca.com/products/hhkb/litelayout.html for its layout.
