Optimized script for selection highlight auto-copying?

[mct300]

Hello AutoHotKey community. Linux has auto copy selected text to clipboard feature so that whatever you select is automatically on the clipboard without having to right click and select copy or pressing any hotkey. I have found this script but it seems that it's an old topic and it might not be the most optimized code. I need to automatically call a function whenever I select a text and save it somewhere. One of the problem that I have with the mentioned script is that it calls my target function even when I am holding the LButton for few second and move it (like scroll down using mouse). Can you introduce a better script or help me to code it?

I want the text to be selected by all possible ways
1) Shift + Arrow Keys (Up, Down, Left, Right)
2) Left Mouse Button
3) DoubleClick
4) Single click to select a single line
5) Ctrl+A (Select All)
6) Tripple Click (Will select the current line)

Code: Select all

#Persistent
#SingleInstance Force
#NoEnv  ;~ Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.

SendMode Input  ;~ Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ;~ Ensures a consistent starting directory.

Try using KeyWait, LButton. That will wait until you release the left mouse button before proceeding with the script.
