Bug Description
Xpad has a simple and nice look, that makes it great to use.
But sometimes I just want to check things in the pads without editing them. I know I can toggle the read-only state in the Preferences menu. But I have to open the menu and toggle it again if I want to edit the content. I think that's not very convenient. Can you add a hotkey shortcut to toggle the read-only state please?
Thanks!

Hi Dongyu,
I can understand this wish and I don't mind to implement it.
But just before I do this, let's think about a good choice for the key combination.
I suggest at least a CTRL+<character> combination.
I don't want to use a character which is commonly used for other purposes.
For example, CTRL+F is not used in Xpad, but is often used for finding/searching.
Since making something read-only is not a common action, I suggest a key combination which is not commonly used. I used this as a reference, but maybe you have other sources.

What about CTRL+J ?
