`hyper - backspace` combination not working?

[AlJohri]

I'm using hyper (cmd + shift + alt + ctrl) with backspace on apple bluetooth wireless keyboard and for some reason I can't get the combination of these two keys to work.

I created the following skhdrc config:

hyper - backspace : echo "hello backspace" >&2
hyper - delete : echo "hello delete" >&2
hyper - space : echo "hello space" >&2
hyper - tab : echo "hello tab" >&2

Then I ran the following command to tail the skhd error logs:

tail -f /tmp/skhd_$USER.err.log

I can see:

hello space
hello tab

However, when I press the hyper + delete on my keyboard I can't get skhdrc to respond.

If I press hyper + fn + delete, I then see this output:

hello delete

However, I want it to work without pressing fn which I what I thought backspace would do.

The delete key on my keyboard maps to this keycode:

❯ skhd -o
keycode: 0x33   flags: 00000000000000000000000100000000

Any ideas?
