I doubt that - the characters would need to be generated as though typed i.e. as though issued by the "push" command. I notice your macro is bound to "help" (four keystrokes) and not "<help>" (the help function). While changing that may get you working behaviour for ^h, it does not explain the "l" stuff. From the output of the "?" key, what are the bindings for each of "h", "e", "l" and "p" in pager mode?
