Easiest way is to use layers, and set the layer trigger (modifier key) to ALT. However, the problem with this, is that if the target application already does something different when you press ALT and scroll, then that different action will also take place - so its not flawless. In that case, you may be better with a layer modifier (so the layer sticks rather than is active while the ALT key is held down), but that has different drawbacks.

Regards,
Phil
