Mapping macros in other minor modes

[Tim Chase]

Is there a way to remap keys in the ":" command-line and in the help
viewer?

In vim, I usually use control+P/N in the ":" command-line to recall
previous commands and was hoping to get similar ^P/^N functionality
to duplicate the functionality mutt provides with up/down.

Likewise, in the help pager (whatever mode you want to call it when
you hit "?" to get help), I tend to hit "j" or "k" to scroll like in
less(1) but those return me to wherever I was before I hit "?". Is
there a name for this mode so I can remap j/k to scrolling up/down in
help?

Thanks,

The command line uses the "editor" map, while the help uses the "pager"
map.

To change the editor map, you could use
bind editor \Cp history-up
bind editor \Cn history-down

For the help, you could put
bind pager k previous-line
bind pager j next-line

Perfect. Thanks!
