2. Read everything bellow the 4. line for default commands,examples, usage, and adding your custom ones. There you will see something like this:

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance Force
#Include %A_ScriptDir%\Lib\Functions.ahk
#Include %A_ScriptDir%\Lib\Paths.ahk

; Before we start dont forget to add ',' after
; each pair of COMMAND-PATH or COMMAND-URL
; syntax is: 
; My_Commands := Map(
;     COMMAND1, PATH1,
;     COMMAND2, URL1,
; )
; Here are some examples: 
; My_Commands := Map(
;(A_User is variable that holds this path: "C:\Users\%Your Username%")

; Folder Example (Will give an error if you dont have Playlists folder in Music one)
"playlists",     A_User "\Music\Playlists",
"viber",         A_User "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu",
; You can also use full paths like this:
"image",         "c:\Users\User\Pictures\example.jpg"
; )

}
class Google {
    static Calendar := "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r"
    static Maps := "https://www.google.com/maps"
