I'm a super noob to autohotkey, so I apologize if this is a stupid question. I'm trying to write a basic script to quick copy full lines. In most applications you can select an entire sentence by clicking 3 or 4 times (varies). I'm currently using;


Code:
#IfWinActive ahk_class MozillaUIWindowClass  ;  Quick Select Full Line Mozilla
!`::
send {LButton}{LButton}{LButton}
send ^c
return

#IfWinActive ahk_class OpWindow ; Quick Select Full Line Opera
!`::
send {LButton}{LButton}{LButton}
send c
return

#IfWinActive ahk_class SALFRAME ; Quick Select Full Line Open Office
!`::
send {LButton}{LButton}{LButton}{LButton}
send ^c
return


Which works fine. However, I imagine there's a better way to do this using if/else statements. Also by using if/else I assume I could add addition window classes to common methods, instead of making a new entry for each. Can anyone help me out with this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

If-else statements are not apllicable here. The #IfWinActive is only there for the next hotkey(s) definition.
Once they are defined, those lines are normally never used anymore, not like an If-Else statement that is used to make a decision what code to use next. (At least in this script those lines are just used once)
You could rewrite your script a bit like this, but that's just a suggestion: (not tested) (btw, I guess that in the 2nd hotkey also ^c is needed and not c)
Code:
GroupAdd, QuickCopyLines3, ahk_class MozillaUIWindowClass    ; Mozilla
GroupAdd, QuickCopyLines3, ahk_class OpWindow    ; Opera
GroupAdd, QuickCopyLines4, ahk_class SALFRAME    ; Open Office
#IfWinActive ahk_group QuickCopyLines3      ;  Quick Select Full Line with 3 clicks
!::
   send {LButton 3}^c
return
#IfWinActive ahk_group QuickCopyLines4      ;  Quick Select Full Line with 4 clicks
!::
   send {LButton 4}^c
return

Actually doesn't seem that works.

Okay I got it working using if statements. Though I still have one last problem. Heres the current code;

Code:
!`::
WinGetClass, winclass, A
if winclass = SALFRAME
{
send, {LButton 4}^c
return
}
if winclass = OpWindow
{
send, {LButton 3}c
}
if winclass = MozillaUIWindowClass
{
send, {LButton 3}^c
}
return


What my problem is I'd like to add multiple window class to one of these methods, [for example if (winclass = MozillaUIWindowClass || Notepad++ || gdkWindowTopLevel) ... obviously this doesn't work, but hoping it makes the idea clear]. Are there any methods to do this?

You can use the GroupAdd command to group together various window classes and use ahk_group instead, or use If Var in MatchList:

if winclass in MozillaUIWindowClass,Notepad++,gdkWindowTopLevel

@mindlesspuppet: Umm, you're not a super noob to Autohotkey as you say, because you made a good workaround for using If-else statements!
But you used again !`:: in your code. I guess your hotkey is only ! ? But I would say you have to look into expressions.
Code:
!::
   WinGetClass, winclass, A
   if (winclass = "SALFRAME")
      send, {LButton 4}^c     ; just 1 line of code -> no {} needed
   else
   if (winclass = "OpWindow" || winclass = "MozillaUIWindowClass")
      send, {LButton 3}^c
   else
      sendraw, !     ; in case another window is active (e.g. Notepad)
return
PS: I've tested my previous code with Msgbox instead of Send, and it works for me, but maybe some misunderstanding about the script purpose. (While I was testing the other code, Serenity gave another good possibility)

Ahh jeez... forgot the quotes, that was the problem. Thanks for all the help!

Finished script;

Code:
!`:: ;Hotkey is Alt+`(Tidle key)
WinGetClass, winclass, A
if (winclass = "SALFRAME")
{
KeyWait Alt
SetKeyDelay, 25
send, {LButton 4}^c
}
if (winclass = "OpWindow")
{
KeyWait Alt
SetKeyDelay, 25
send, {LButton 3}c ; Opera has a context menu on multiple clicks so just c
}
if (winclass = "MozillaUIWindowClass" or winclass = "Notepad++")
{
KeyWait Alt
SetKeyDelay, 25
send, {LButton 3}^c
}
return
