In what manner does it "not work"? What happens when you hit cP in
Normal mode then? Nothing? Or something else than what you expected?
And what did you expect? The above mapping should insert the file's
full path into the file itself immediately after the cursor. It won't
work if you haven't yet given a name to the file.

If you want instead to get the file's full path into the clipboard so
you can paste it into a different application, then replace @" by @+
and remove the " | norm p" at the end. For this you need access to the
clipboard, e.g. running in gvim (of any flavour), or in a GUI-enabled
Linux vim, or probably also on a Windows vim.exe but's been so long
I've quit Windows I can't be sure in the latter case.

Best regards,
Tony.
