Script works well for me. I added and A_PriorKey=="CapsLock"
into the condition on line 27. That way it doesn't act like Ctrl and Escape when I press and release the entire key combination really quickly.
thank you for this!
I did a similar approach to replace the key tab
by caps lock
without breaking any combination, adding double tab trigger to switch windows in metro context under Windows 8 but it's mandatory, can be commented out.

Fenwar's version, posted above (May 2018) is beautiful code. I like it because it doesn't hook every key on the keyboard. Give it a look.

Differences:
- Add a rule that maps LCtrl to CapsLock.
Caps to Ctrl+Esc...
If just pressed 1 time is gonna act as ESC
If used with another key is gonna act as CTRL
Allow Shift + Ctrl combinations
#IfWinNotActive,ahk_group WorkIn
*CapsLock::
Send {Blind}{Ctrl Down}
cDown := A_TickCount
Return
*CapsLock up::
If ((A_TickCount-cDown) < 150){
Send {Blind}{Ctrl Up}{Esc}
}
Else {
Send {Blind}{Ctrl Up}
}
Return
#IfWinNotActive
Thanks for these, but unfortunately in my experience these scripts sometimes swallow inputs or get stuck. In addition, when CapsLock is pressed and held down a Ctrl KEYDOWN event is leaked, resulting in unexpected behavior in certain applications (e.g. games).
To anyone reading this in 2018+, I've written a lightweight c utility to rebind CapsLock to Ctrl/Esc (or any key to any other two keys) that can be found here. Have fun!
