How to expand macros when adding bookmarks

Question

How can I expand a macro when using the :bmark command?
e.g.

nmap B :bmark %c %c:h

The goal is to write a shortcut where I can add a bookmark and expand it's path as the tag argument.

Desired end result looks like this:

I don't know how I was able to do this before.

Thanks

Answer 1

If I understood you correctly:

nnoremap <silent> B :execute 'bmark!' '%c' expand('%c')<cr>

Thank you! that's exactly it!

So as a general rule, I'll be looking to the execute command when the help file doesn't explicitly mention macro expansion

Answer 2

Think I found my answer with :bmark!

yeah no. the tags don't expand, only the paths do
