Option to allow scrolling in unfocused windows

[a-priestley]

Hi there,
In newm, scrolling on a window focuses it, taking away the ability to action another window without re-focusing it fist.
In other DE's/WM's it's possible to hover over windows and scroll their contents while retaining the ability to type in another window.
Is this possible to implement in newm?

I'm not quite sure how this would be made to work. Is this possible on sway? Can you point me to the relevant configuration?

I'm actually not sure about that one and I realize now that "other" De's/WM's I'm thinking of had been X11 based. Due to the isolating nature of wayland compositors it may not be possible without some script in the config.
Something like:

On Scroll
    If other window is focused
        wait 500ms
        focus last window

Shouldn't be too hard for me to figure out, but the question remains--is there something more native to be done to accomplish it?

Closing this for now, as I think this goes a bit beyond a single compositors characteristic
