Description
I recently installed Remotely, an excellent project by the way. But I noticed that when using Remotely access, and then making a connection to the Windows Remote Desktop, the DEL and BACKSPACE keys don't work.
I tested it on Firefox and Chrome browsers, accessing a client's server with Remotely. This server runs Windows Server 2019 Standard. From the server I opened an RDP connection with a station running Windows 10 Professional. My computer uses a standard Brazilian Portuguese keyboard (ABNT2).

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Firefox and Chrome using Remotely to reach Windows Server 2019, then an RDP session to Windows 10, with an ABNT2 keyboard. Trace the keyboard-input path and compare DEL and BACKSPACE handling with other keys. Done means both keys work reliably in the nested RDP connection without breaking existing keyboard behavior.
