Quickly, I can't modify that one, but can propose another similar
solution if you want to actually see the path on the commandline:
:cmap %/ <C-r>=expand('%:p:h')<CR>/
(Incidentally, you could write ^R and ^F as <C-r> and <C-f> in your one
above, too, as long as you're not running in compatible mode.)
:help c_CTRL-R_=
:help expand()
