On a work week view (and sometimes a full  week view) which I (and many many
others) use, if I keep pressing right arrow to slide off the edge, then I see
the next whole week -- I cannot scroll..!!!!

Basically on a Thursday, I want to see:

Thurs, Fri, Mon, Tue, Wed

as the days vertically.

There are two ways to do this: One is to press Alt+5.  (here my "few" can be
changed to your "few" by changing the number you press with Alt), and the
second is select the dates via mouse on the calendar.

After you do this, you get the view desired, and also the scrolling ability
(in granularity of days) enables you to slide that 5-day view over the
calender in movements of days.

This is the perfect view (for me, and I am sure many others).

But the pressing of Alt+5 is not intuitive. And selecting dates via the
mouse on the calendar is also cumbersome.

What you need is another view besides the standard 4, called the "Sliding
Window" view, which will allow customizing the width of the window, and
whether the weekends will show up in that window. And then you should be able
to scroll the view window around the calendar.

The functionality is there, but the access is via Alt+5, which should be
intuitively depicted as a standard user-choosable view.

PS: by "window" I mean in abstract terms, not an actual Microsoft Windows'
window.
