How to emulate hyper key in Windows 10 using autohotkey

Question

I'm migrating my mac workflow to Windows. One thing I couldn't live without is hyper key which is combination of Ctrl + Option + Shift + Cmd. I use Karabiner app to remap Capslock to this Hyper key. I have heard that Autohotkey is an Karabiner alternative for Windows. Could you guys please help me to emulate this feature in Windows.

My ideal result is:

• Deactivate Capslock completely because I rarely use this
• Toggle Capslock will perform ESC key
• Hold down Capslock will perform Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Windows. For example Capslock + C will be Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Windows+C

Many thanks in advance!

The following is my attempt with ahk script but it doesn't work at all :(

Thanks for anyone trying to help me, I figured out the prob on my own and would like to share it in case anyone comes across this prob.

#NoEnv ; recommended for performance and compatibility with future autohotkey releases.
#UseHook
#InstallKeybdHook
#SingleInstance force

SendMode Input

;; deactivate capslock completely
SetCapslockState, AlwaysOff

;; remap capslock to hyper
;; if capslock is toggled, remap it to esc

;; note: must use tidle prefix to fire hotkey once it is pressed
;; not until the hotkey is released
~Capslock::
    ;; must use downtemp to emulate hyper key, you cannot use down in this case 
    ;; according to https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Send.htm, downtemp is as same as down except for ctrl/alt/shift/win keys
    ;; in those cases, downtemp tells subsequent sends that the key is not permanently down, and may be 
    ;; released whenever a keystroke calls for it.
    ;; for example, Send {Ctrl Downtemp} followed later by Send {Left} would produce a normal {Left}
    ;; keystroke, not a Ctrl{Left} keystroke
    Send {Ctrl DownTemp}{Shift DownTemp}{Alt DownTemp}{LWin DownTemp}
    KeyWait, Capslock
    Send {Ctrl Up}{Shift Up}{Alt Up}{LWin Up}
    if (A_PriorKey = "Capslock") {
        Send {Esc}
    }
return

;; vim navigation with hyper
~Capslock & h:: Send {Left}
~Capslock & l:: Send {Right}
~Capslock & k:: Send {Up}
~Capslock & j:: Send {Down}

;; popular hotkeys with hyper
~Capslock & c:: Send ^{c}
~Capslock & v:: Send ^{v}
