Vim can I scroll up / down an inactive window?

I split my window into 2 windows. And I need to scroll the inactive window. Example for scrolling the preview window up and down without placing the cursor in the preview window.

You can add a couple of user mappings:

:nmap ,d <CW>W<CD><CW>W :nmap ,u <CW>W<CU><CW>W

and then use ,d and ,u to scroll down and up in another window.
