I want to remap the {Capslock} key to send {Ctrl + Alt + Shift}, but I want to also send any keys that I pressed after it.

For example, if I press {Capslock + t} then I want AHK to send {Ctrl + Alt + Shift + t} likewise, if I press {Capslock + j} then I want to send {Ctrl + Alt + Shift + j}

The following doesn't work because it sends it before I press any trailing keys. (i'm doing this so I can map shortcuts to Ctrl + Alt + Shift + ? and use the Capslock key to execute them.

Capslock::send {^~+}

Probably should be on SO. – Hello71 Jul 27 '10 at 17:00

@Hello71 - Do they send AHK stuff to SO? I thought it seemed appropriate to be here. – JNK Jul 27 '10 at 17:02
@JNK: I guess it's more complicated AHK questions that get migrated to SO, doing a quick check. – Hello71 Jul 27 '10 at 19:33

Be aware that in AutoHotkey Alt is ! not ~. – Bavi_H Jul 30 '10 at 4:08

I looked in the AutoHotkey help file under "Remapping keys and buttons". The general pattern is a::b will make pressing key a send key b instead. However, I couldn't get any of the following to work properly.

CapsLock::^!+
CapsLock::^!Shift
CapsLock::^!LShift

But that same help page describes how AutoHotkey internally translates the a::b remapping into two hotkey mappings. I used that example to make the following working script.

*CapsLock::
  SetKeyDelay -1
  Send {Blind}{Ctrl DownTemp}{Alt DownTemp}{Shift DownTemp}
return

*CapsLock up::
  SetKeyDelay -1
  Send {Blind}{Ctrl Up}{Alt Up}{Shift Up}
return
