I expect that after I hit 'cP' in normal mode, insert file's full path into the file itself immediately after the cursor.
But when I restart my gvim after I added this remap in _vimrc.
nnoremap cP :let @p=expand('%:p') | norm "pp
The started message hits me 'E353:Nothing in register p'
I try to remove '| norm "pp', and restart my gvim, no start error, and hit cP in normal mode. Command line show me the command:
:let @p=expand('%:p')
I need hit enter, and hit '"pp', to what I want.
How can I simply use 'cP' to get what I want?
