german neo2 keyboard not supported

[Max Mustermann]

Hi,

I'm using the german keyboard layout Neo (setxkbmap de neo).
On layer 4 of this layout are arrow/delete/backspace/... keys; see https://neo-layout.org/index_en.html
All of them but the delete key (which is at the key "C", keycode 27; combined with the Alt-Gr or "<" -key) work.

I expect it to delete the right character.
Instead it opens a question box asking whether to delete the pad.

The normal delete key (not on layer 4 of Neo) works as expected

Merry Christmas!
Best, Max

My system Specifications:
- Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
- gnome-i3
- xpad version 5.0.0-1 500

see bug #185744, I accidentally asked it on the ubuntu forum but it is not related to Ubuntu as I had this issue with Archlinux as well

Hi Max,

I am not sure where to start here. :)

In Xpad [shift] + [delete] is triggers the delete pad action.
Does this help in a way to find a cause?
