Autohotkey - Send Left control on long press otherwise send Enter

Here is my script. Capslock is mapped to send Left control on long press,otherwise send an escape. This is working as expected.

SetCapsLockState, alwaysoff
Capslock::
    Send {LControl Down}
    KeyWait, CapsLock
    Send {LControl Up}
    if ( A_PriorKey = "CapsLock" ){
        Send {Esc}
    }
    return

; Send left control when long pressed, otherwise behave a normal enter key
Enter::                
    send {LControl Down}
    KeyWait, Enter, T5
    Send {LControl Up} 
    if ( A_PriorKey = "Enter" ){
        Send {Enter}
    }
    return

However Enter key is not waiting for the long press, it is timing out quickly.This is not my expectation. It should behave like the above snippet

If I'm understanding the issue correctly, this should do what you require:

Enter:: 
SendInput, {LCtrl Down}
Sleep, 100
KeyWait, Enter
SendInput, {LCtrl Up}
if ( A_PriorKey = "Enter" ){
    Send {Enter}
}
return

Also, I assume you have the catch at the end to pass through a single Enter keystroke. If that isn't the case, and you're wanting to pass through all of them (while Enter is held down), the following will accomplish that.

~Enter:: 
SendInput, {LCtrl Down}
Sleep, 100
KeyWait, Enter
SendInput, {LCtrl Up}
return
