feature request: option for 'action keys only' during key lock/auto-lock

I wish there was an option for the 'lock keys' and 'auto-lock' functions to be limited to 'action' keys only (i.e. start/stop activity). As envisioned, this would allow the user to change data screens without having to first unlock the keys, while also ensuring that the activity isn't accidentally stopped. Or, while in the default time-keeping mode, allowing the user to scroll through widgets, etc. while preventing an activity from being started.

My old Suunto Ambit 2 had a similar option and it was quite useful. Since moving to my Garmin Fenix 5x I feel like I'm constantly unlocking my keys during an activity in order to simply change data screens.

Thoughts?
