Yes please

I agree. It's kind of cumbersome.

yes please - this is such a pain in the rear

You can scroll horizontally by holding shift and using the scroll wheel (hint: this works semi universally across web and desktop applications)

The footer should also have a "float" option where the grid does not fill the page downwards/vertically.

Also consider the "standard" implementation of the "Home" and "End" keys, especially useful for navigating long records. The addition of "CTRL" with those keys could take you to the first or last record respectively.

If you are using SS, You need to get the logitech mouse with side scroll!

even if we could have the arrow keys that would allow us to scroll, I find that I have to stop typing and use the scroll feature to move the screen, Tab or Arrow keys would be great,

Until this is done, I note that one could move the display horizontally e.g. with the key Shift and a mouse wheel. (Well, maybe all of you use such methods already.)

I am glad to see it is not just me that have this issue :D
