I'm a PHP developer, and sometimes I make typing mistakes like this:

$var = "sometext"; echo 4var;

That is, I pressed '4' instead of '$'.

I use the following map so I can quickly fix this problem by typing ,, while still on the same line.

map ,, F4r$A

Others may prefer

map ,, m`F4r$``
imap ,, <Esc>m`F4r$``a

for it returns where the cursor was. Useful when you are editing the middle of a line, with the cursor after the '4'.
