How To Lock Panels in Docking Mode?

[markw]

At present there are, that I’m aware of, only three ways to remove a Panel that has been Docked when in Docking Mode;
1: As discussed above; by using a Key command.
2: Using the release Fly-out Icon, (the little rectangle with an arrow coming out of it, found in the top right corner of any Docked panel).
3: Via the View menu in the Menubar, if the Panel is listed there.
All of the above are effectively acting as a “Lock” on a Docked panel as they all require a positive action by the user to remove a Docked Panel.
But I can see the weak link of those three is potentially number 1, where a user could inadvertently use a Key Command that closes a Panel…🤔

Mark, once again I think you’ve got it spot on - I’m closing the panel by (inadvertently) pressing the key-combination.

Thanks for your help, Pat
