Right. These symbols from the help screen are names of key bindings.
Commands are different; they're what you putt in muttrc or after
pressing the ":" key (the <enter-command> keybinding).
The "push" command is the inverse of <enter-command>. <Enter-command>
lets you initiate a command by pressing a key (":"). "push" lets you
enter keystrokes (or bindings) by entering a command.
When you "push" keystrokes, you can use either literal letters, numbers,
etc., or you can use binding names. Binding names are always inside
<angle-brackets>, with no spaces. Keys substitude for the bindings
they're bound to, but binding names can be used whether or not they're
bound to a key.
In other words, "push" arguments work the same way as macros definitions
do.
