How to scroll without clicking window to focus in vim?

I have a file navigate window (b) and a edit window (a). I want to scan the window-b with scrolling, while I'm editing a file in the window-a.

So I set mouse=a, and I have to focus the cursor in window-b. But I wish not to focus it, how to?

I don't believe there's any way to do what you want. What if you had another window-c, how would you know which window to scroll !?

Just use :h window-move-cursor with :h scrolling for the window that is in focus, or if you're more comfortable with a mouse, use that instead.
