I want to remap the Caps Lock key to send Ctrl+Alt+Shift, but I want to also send any keys that I pressed after it.
For example, if I press Caps Lock+t then I want AHK to send Ctrl+Alt+Shift+t
likewise, if I press Caps Lock+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+[key] and use the Caps Lock key to execute them.
Capslock::send {^~+}

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.
