(Get the code!)
I like keeping things as simple as possible (but not simpler).
Having lots of different locks for different functions makes things more complicated then needed.
What if there is only one kind of lock, but there is a simple way to temporarily overrule it.
The goal is to never have automated tools touch locked parts, but when a user want to manually move, delete, edit a locked part it can do so after a warning, but the part keeps it's lock.
Recently I had a locked via for connection to a poer plane, and later wanted to manualy move it to a different position. KiCad(V5.2.0 warned me with "The selected item is locked" and asked for confirmation [Cancel] [Drag Anyway] I overruled it and dragged the via, but then it also lost its lock.
