It does look like you have a syntax error in the JSON data.
Specifically, you have a comma after the last element of a list on line 11:
"from": {
"key_code": "delete_or_backspace", <---- here
},
"to": [
At least [`jq`](https://github.com/stedolan/jq) (which is a *very* useful tool for doing all kinds of parsing of JSON data) calls that out as an error; when fed what's in your question as input, the output of `jq .` is simply:
> parse error: Expected another key-value pair at line 11, column 11
(In the `jq` query syntax, a bare `.` represents the root element of the input; also, portions of the input matching the query are output. So `jq .` essentially says "print everything from the input".)
I can't try it in the software you're using, but **removing the extraneous `,` at the end of line 11** makes `jq` accept the JSON as valid.
