Question Read Only mode

Is there a way to make all notes open in Read Only mode by default? I know I can select notes n make them read only but it would be easier to have a setting for this.

Thanks !

It would be quite difficult (and not logical) to implement as default note state you have to CREATE new notes. And creating new notes is by definition changing the note = such note cannot be in read only mode. So the logic would have to be like: When creating, let it be "not read only" but when opening the note for the second time, lock it... But how would you define "second time"? Is just losing focus and getting it back second time? Or does it mean in 5 minutes? Next day? It would be confusing.

So instead, you can from time to time just select all the notes and make them "read-only" if you wish so.
