I was using the left and right keys to move between columns in a grid.  If I move far enough right, the left-most column, the # column, scrolls out of the window and can no longer be seen.  If I then use the left arrow key to move between columns, I can not bring that # back into view.  I can only bring the second column, the Item column, into view.  To bring the # column back into view, I have to drag the scroll bar with the mouse.  Seems like I should be able to do this with the arrow keys.
 
It might be good to be able to "freeze" this # column so that it always appears, no matter how far I move the arrow key to the right.  For that matter it might be nice to be able to freeze columns just like we can do with a spreadsheet.

Not 100% sure about the # column, but this is already possible with all other columns. Go to manage grids, choose the grid in question. Go to Columns and choose the number of locked columns. These are counted from the first one on the left. Still, I agree with you that the directional keys should work. I cannot try this now, but I am curious if it will work on my installation.

I can confirm that setting the number of locked columns to 1 will lock the number column

Super!  Sorry for not doing my homework before making my post.  But even without locking the column - seems like the left arrow key should bring the number column back in view.

True, I'll see if I can force it. The default behavior is that left / right keys skip read-only columns...

Grid with:
- 0 locked columns
- # Field is pushed to the far right
 
When the left arrow is used to navigate to the leftmost field it selects the whole item instead of focusing on just this field.
