Would be nice to have a simpler command for this though.

And like Mike said, you can use a keyboard shortcut to deselect the clip/edit before using the up and down arrow keys.
I think what you want is a "don't move selection" option. I haven't found the current behavior annoying, but that's just me. And it could very well be a good option to have.
BTW, Ctrl+W does not actually toggle on/off Selection Follows Playhead in 14b4. This seems to be b/c that command is also mapped to the Color Page's View... Show Reference Wipe command.
In 12.5 you could have a keyboard shortcut that would behave differently according to what page you're on. This doesn't seem to be the case in 14b4.
That is what I have been doing, but it is just an extra unnecessary step, and when you consider a long editing session and multiply how many times you will need to do that, you will see how it is a waste of time to have to take two steps for something that should be doable in one step. And that is coming from someone who is, by default, constantly pressing "Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+A" to deselect everything selected on the timeline. But I always do that when I finish one step of what I am doing. Other than that, I am always jumping between edits when clips are selected, which is annoying, for me of course, with Resolve's behavior.
This behavior always annoy me, even in Premiere which, by the way, comes with this behavior as the default, but I always change it to the other option they have. All I would love to see is another option included in Resolve, so I can switch that behavior off, or use only in the rare cases where I need it.
