Research direction

The request is for a setting that locks home-screen icons against dragging and disables the long-press context menu. The payload names no source files, so start by reading the two existing comments to see whether maintainers have already chosen a design. Then search the Kotlin sources for the long-press and drag-and-drop handlers on the home screen. Done means a toggle that, when enabled, stops icon moves and opens no context menu, with the default behaviour unchanged.

Feature description

Hello team,

Thanks for this app very simple to use and sober

Do you think you could add an option to lock move and disable contextual menu with long press.
The phone (honor 90 lite) suggests that option and is enabled but it doesn't work with your specific launcher apparently.

Thanks in advance
Have a nice evening

Why do you want this feature?

I installed it for my senior mummy but she drags and drops icons by accident.

It would save my time after work :)
