how do I actually *paste* the output of that on the current
line? I've tried :echo bufname("%"), which prints it on the
command line. That's not what I want.
You can use the expression register. In insert-mode, press
control+R followed by "=" and type in "bufname('%')" and hit
enter. It works for evaluating any expression you want. If you
do it frequently, you can map it:
:inoremap <f4> <c-r>=bufname('%')<cr>
which will allow you to press <f4> in insert-mode and get the
desired text inserted.
Using the ability to insert a register's contents is pretty useful.
:help i_CTRL-R
for more information (in this case, the tail bit about the
expression-register)
