Topic: "safer" Hotcue
In VDJ, a set hotcue can easily be deleted by accident with a right-click. In Rekordbox, you have to click the small “X” to delete it = a better solution.

You can already lock your cues for a song - pretty sure the default skins has this functionality in one of the menus for the deck, and most other skins have it to. lock_cues is the verb to use if you want to do it through VDJScript.
You can even delete the script for Shit + Pad #, if you really find a right click is a problem for you, but the reality is for most people this is a welcome feature once you understand it (allows for full ability to set/unset from the pad page, not sure how you can right click a pad by accident, as that's a conscious effort for me to decide to right click something).
 
Or you can mod your hotcues pad page by yourself and have it do one of the following:
1) nothing
2) hold to delete
3) update
4) hold to update
5) a combination of the above..

Personally I have modified my hotcues pad page so that if I just right click a hotcue it updates it's position, but if I keep it pressed (with right mouse button) it will delete.
holding ? delete_xue X : set_cue X
 
I would like the ability to be able to lock all cues for my library in the settings via a button or something like that. I would lock the songs that already have cue points but not those who don't. I sometimes get some of my friends wanting to have a play around and they mistakenly remove my cue points in songs. I only find out when I am playing them, which could be at a gig.
 
settings has read only mode for guests
make this a custom_button

script
setting readonly on ? blink & setting readonly : setting readonly
name
read only

if it's blinking read only is on, cues can be added, tags can be altered but nothing is remembered for next start up

to turn the setting on or off press the button, but will require a vdj reboot
