No.  As I said in my original post, I've tried to bind the key, using

bind editor <key> <function>

Then I tested the effect by performing any action that invokes the line editor,
say, replying to a mail, and trying to edit the address offered in the window.
By that I mean I pressed the Control and H keys, and saw the cursor erase
characters as it moved left, as does the <backspace> key.  I want the cursor
to simply MOVE to the left, the "backward-char" function, when I press the
Control and the H keys.
