AutoHotkey v2 script to Remap Caps Lock to a Hyper key (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Win) on hold, Escape on tap, and preserves actual Caps Lock via Shift+Caps.

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

; *CapsLock::
; {
;     startTime := A_TickCount
;     Send("{Ctrl down}{Shift down}{Alt down}{LWin down}")
;     KeyWait("CapsLock")
;     Send("{Ctrl up}{Shift up}{Alt up}{LWin up}")
    
;     if (A_TickCount - startTime < 200) && (A_PriorKey = "CapsLock")
;     {
;         SetCapsLockState(!GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T"))
;     }
; }

; 1. Shift + Caps Lock = Toggle actual Caps Lock
+CapsLock:: {
    SetCapsLockState !GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")
}

; 2. Caps Lock = Hyper (Hold) or Escape (Tap)
*CapsLock:: {
    ; Press down the Hyper modifiers
    Send "{LCtrl down}{LAlt down}{LShift down}{LWin down}"
    
    ; Wait for Caps Lock to be released
    KeyWait "CapsLock"
    
    ; Release the Hyper modifiers
    Send "{LWin up}{LShift up}{LAlt up}{LCtrl up}"
    
    ; If no other key was pressed while Caps Lock was held down, fire Escape.
    ; (This inherently handles the tap behavior without needing a strict 500ms timer, 
    ; but acts identically to your Karabiner setup).
    if (A_PriorKey = "CapsLock") {
        Send "{Esc}"
    }
}

Windows AutoHotkey v2 script to replicate standard Karabiner-Elements developer keybinds:

• Tap Caps Lock: Escape
• Hold Caps Lock: Hyper Key (Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Win)
• Shift + Caps Lock: Toggle normal Caps Lock state
