pretty straight forward transparent option for ALT+MiddleClick. I only query the ALT key for exiting, so you can release the Middle Button to make things more easy (and to prevent accidential scrolls with the ScrollWheel)

I tried it; very nice.

A minor improvement is that you can omit the X and Y output variables if you don't need that info (the help file is wrong, so I changed it to reflect this):
MouseGetPos,,, currentWindow

Also, you might want to throw a "Sleep 10" inside that loop, otherwise it will use quite a lot more CPU time while you're holding down the ALT key.
