Vim comma command keys

I downloaded this vimrc file. It contains entries for mapping comma seperated keys to certain commands. ie:

map ,e :e <C-R>=expand("%:p:h") . "/" <CR>

What i can't figure out is how to run these commands in Vim.

How to i run ",e"?

If you use these maps, you'll also want to use

nnoremap ,, ,

So you can have the , functionality (repeat latest fFtT motion, but in the opposite direction). This is occasionally useful, though not as useful as that edit file in current file's directory map you have there.

Press ESC and then type ,e

The ESC will confirm you are out of insert mode (if you entered it)

just type it

,e

thats it, since the map is a normal mapping, it ought to work in normal, visual and operator pending mode. see 

:h 40.1

in vim, for the help on map modes

You would just type , and then e. To verify that it's actually being mapped, you can use the command :map ,e.
