That's because you must have tested the mapping in a buffer containing
the help file, which is non-modifiable by default (and you probably
don't want to modify it). Try it with an ordinary buffer.

Anyway the answer to your original request was probably John's reply:
you're looking for an insert mode mapping and you have defined a
normal mode one instead.

Best,
Paul
