autohotkey

Currently I am using following code for changing keyboard layout:

//vim.ahk
CapsLock::Send, {CTRLDOWN}{SHIFTDOWN}{SHIFTUP}{CTRLUP}{CTRLUP}
    return
!CapsLock::CapsLock

CapsLock & j  :: Send  {Down}
CapsLock & k  :: Send {Up}
CapsLock & h  :: Send {Left}
CapsLock & l  :: Send {right}
CapsLock & p  :: Send {PGUP}
CapsLock & `; :: Send {PGDN}
CapsLock & a  :: Send {home}
CapsLock & e  :: Send {end}

Is this code stable enough?
