Problem
In Os X, I can hold Shift while using the scroll wheel on the mouse to scroll horizontally instead of vertically. Is there a way to do something similar in Windows?

Fix for: Horizontal scrolling shortcut in Windows
Low Risk
Here's an AutoHotKey script to do it using shift and (presumably) native mouse wheel scroll commands: This is taken directly from https://gist.github.com/cheeaun/160999. Keep in mind that a lot of applications, including Microsoft applications, don't support horizontal mouse wheel scrolling. (I believe the feature was only introduced in Windows Vista.)
