I've gotten too used to it on other distros and I'd like to know how to enable it on my arch setup. Just to be perfectly clear I'm talking about typing something in a terminal and being able to scroll down a web page in firefox by mousing over the window but not switching to it.

Mine does that but AFAIK there is no particular setting to enable it. If yours doesn't then I have no idea why.

Depends on the WM. Kwin in KDE does that by default, in others you can set "focus follows mouse" to mimic it.

Probably should have mentioned I'm using xfce as my de, but yeah "focus follows mouse" is not the option I'm looking for. That causes the window you are currently mousing over to become your active window after a period of time. I'm trying to find out how to affect an inactive window with my mouse scroll wheel.

I found the answer to this myself and decided I should post it in case anyone else had a similar problem. To enable this feature in xfce go to settings > window manager tweaks > accessibility and uncheck Raise windows when any mouse button is pressed
