Marco had an "edit activity" which did the minimal stuff for Journal
entries. Doesn't seem to be in git any more, but I still had the files.
See http://dev.laptop.org/~morgan/editactivity.py (I don't know if it's
out of date, haven't tried to run it but it looks fine.)

The "Keep" functionality should be automatically invoked when you stop
an activity, or even alt-tab or switch away from it.

I don't think this example had an explicit Keep button but that should
be easy to follow from another activity.
