Yes, that's pretty much it. In order to make a ^B actually appear on the
commandline while you're typing, you need to type ^V before it. So you
need
map #3 ^[:map q ^V^B^M
The right hand side is the list of keys you need to press to get
:map q ^B
to appear on the commandline. (And of course the ^M confirms it, by
'pressing enter'.)
Not sure what you have the ^[ there for; if it's just a normal mode
mapping, you shouldn't need to exit any other mode by pressing escape.
It may cause a beep/error and abort the mapping, though, so perhaps you
should try without that, too.
Ben.
P.S. You can do the escaping differently using the <> notation, but you
still need a 'double escape' kind of thing:
:map whatever <Esc>:map q <lt>C-b><Enter>
