Want a utility to scroll a window without shifting focus on Windows?

Question

Windows

On OS X and some *nix window managers, it is possible to scroll a background window by simply hovering over it without removing focus from the current window. Are there utilities or other ways to implement such functionality under Windows?

Answer 1

If you haven’t found what you need yet, I can quickly write in AHK, compile and send. I wrote one for myself

Answer 2

Try the wizmouse utility. Judging by the description, it should suit you (peeped here )

Answer 3

There is a win32 api - all similar applications under Windows work through it. Dig there.
Alternatively, write scripts yourself (if about Python) using the pywinauto library

Answer 4

Try FlyingWindows. There you can also drag the window to any place with the Alt pressed.

Answer 5

WizMouse
KatMouse

Answer 6

I used KatMouse, which is bad:
I have now migrated from windows 7 to 8.1 and while I am looking for a more convenient way to solve the described problem, and this utility introduces more non-intuitive behavior than it eliminates, in my opinion
I think that the title of the question should be changed to a clearer and more searchable one, otherwise I will create my own question
