It's probably something very obvious, but I don't have much experience with AHK yet. I watched the video, and I don't get what I'm doing wrong, but it doesn't work. The screen does move, but not necessarily to my mouse. Sometimes it even disappears. This is what my script looks like:
I don't see why that's not correct. Would you have any idea? Below the video, they're saying this:

Ummm… I think you are right. Please try bringing the CoordMode line below the ^+m line, as krad said in the comments:
^+m::

Thanks to you for following up!
