Description
Some plugins like git-messenger.vim that opens up a floating window allow:
(i) to move cursor to the window (e.g. CTRL-W W) --- and then one can navigate using movement keys,
(ii) to scroll the window using mouse wheels.
This would be particularly useful when one need to see more lines a bit off around the symbol definition, quickfix location, etc. The current behavior is that the floating window opened by quickui is not focusable nor scrollable.
It would be great if we can customize this behavior with an argument!

Research direction
Start at quickui's floating-window implementation and review how its current non-focusable, non-scrollable behavior is configured. Compare the requested cursor movement and mouse-wheel scrolling with git-messenger.vim, then verify the configurable behavior in Vim or Neovim.
