You don;t have to have focus set to the list items when you're scrolling...
i dunno if it's true for keyboard scrolling (arrow keys), but you certainly
could just press the up/down buttons with your mouse.

I couldn't really think of any task in the current control center that would
really be bad if apply is automatic, then again i haven't really thought too
hard on it yet.
