may one assume that is is not possible to leave the cursor

in the command line with some text written if not through a mapping?

Best,

Some context...

I have these mappings:
nnoremap ^[FF :Split echo globpath('/home/renato/repos/', "**/rdf*")
nnoremap ^[Ff :Split echo globpath(&rtp, "*/ttm*")
nnoremap ^[Fa :Split echo globpath(&rtp, "*/ttm*")<CR>
nnoremap ^[FA :Split echo globpath(&rtp, "**/pack/**")<CR>
(^[ stands for Alt here, achieved using <C-V>.)

I want the following mapping:
" nnoremap ^[Ff :Split echo globpath(&rtp, '"**/' . expand("<cword>") . "*")

which does not work because Vim considers the whole expression as a string
and does note evaluate expand().

To make this work, I made a function with variations such as:

fu! SearchFilenameRTP()
  let a = expand("<cword>")
  let b = '**/' . l:a . '*'
  let c = ':Split echo globpath(&rtp, "' . l:b . '")'
  normal l:c
endfu

but I can't get the string in l:c into the command-line.
