I assume (???) a lot of these "oversights" are the result of the 'fact' (?) that the Livecode people have gone back to square one and virtually recreated Livecode /ad novum/ rather than adding incrementally on top of Livecode 7. I don't know whether this is true. But it seems the 'kindest'

If there isn't a focused object, arrowkey is supposed to be sent to the card. This isn't happening in 8. If you place an additional object (like a scrolling list field) onto the card and click it so that it has focus, and then hit the arrow keys, your object to move will behave as you expect.
