lock buttons to prevent accidental pressing

[ARCADIOS]

is there a way to lock buttons?
for example i have the green mix button of analog source on stm channel , and if i accidentally press it...............then if i am lucky having the control room volume low my genelecs and my ears will survive from the huge ammount of audio feedback



in other words i need a way to lock this mix button so even if i press it... nothing to happen... or ask me twice.....

real consoles are equally dangerous. be careful.

emmmm..................
not exactly.......... on a hardware mixer the buttons are analogue.
on a scope project there is much higher possibility for such mistakes... wrong unsaved mixer pressets....etc...

and since we have the virtual scopes environment there should have been more flexibility.
scopes mixers are LIKE hardware.............but they are not

i can't think of an engineer who hasn't pushed the wrong button to the chagrin of his ears and speaks, even without ever touching a computer.

If it can be added easily (we are talking software here not hardware after all), then i think it would be a good feature. I've done it before and if I'd had a "are you sure.." to make me stop for a second and think "why did I lock this?", it would have been much better for my ears! Particularly on high track count mixes.
