    I have a slight tremor in my hands and am always dislodging my palettes from their proper location when I only want to open them. This is annoying and also embarrassing when I am teaching. Is there a way to lock them in place? I don’t think there is but I thought I’d ask before putting in a feature request. Anyone else have trouble with dislodging their palettes accidentally?

    Hey, Heidi.
    For me, everything I do when I teach is on the verge of embarrassing, but in your case I think there is a solution.
    What about setting up keyboard shortcuts to open and close palettes? (File > Keyboard shortcuts, then choose Window Menu from Product area drop down)
    I use about 8 or 10 of them for the palettes I use most often.
    I even set up a keyboard shortcut to open my keyboard shortcuts.

    I don’t know of any way to lock them. I love John’s suggestion of using shortcuts.

    Another option would be to use Quick Apply to open/close panels.

    Another idea is to use the Control panel or the Properties panel for as much as possible. There are some things you can’t do there, but the list is getting smaller.
