 grab/scroll feature. Not in 8.2

 +10 on the grab/scroll feature.

 ...But I'm pretty sure the focus changes are a new behaviour (unless the
 6xx builds worked this way – I started testing in the 7xx range). Focus
 was usually in the activity name field (unless the activity developer
 moved it), a down key press would then move focus to a tab name (if there
 were any tabs), and then another down arrow would move focus to the main
 canvas. At which point cursor up/down, page up/down would scroll the view
 (if it was a scrollable view). This same function seems to now be achieved
 by pressing tab instead (I'm happy with this behaviour); but an initial
 cursor down now causes focus in the toolbar to move to the right – usually
 leaping you to the "Share with" menu, and with another cursor down your
 now accidentally sharing your activity with the Neighborhood (something
 you can't ever switch off again for this activity instance).

 I fine with this pushing out to 9.1.0, but just wanted to be clear on the
 behaviour change incase it needs documenting. For example, in Journal you
 used to just be able to start pressing cursor down a few times to start to
 scroll through past activities, that action will now set some
 weird/unintended filter settings to the journal. Currently you'll actually
 need to press Tab first, and then you can use cursor up/down, page
 up/down, home/end.
