I want the ability to lock widgets and make the cursor not change into a different cursor when hovering over it.

This is just more aesthetically pleasing imo. Especially when using non-interactable widgets, since for non interactable widgets, the cursor changes to a grabbing icon but clicking or dragging does nothing (unless you are in edit mode)

The locking could be done on a widget by widget basis (and unlockable in edit menu) Or just having an option to lock all widgets altogether. (and unlock in edit menu)

Sorry, what exactly is the problem here? Widgets shouldn't be draggable or get a grabby hand cursor on hover unless you're in Edit Mode or you've deliberately pressed/clicked-and-held on it for like 2 seconds. Is that something you find yourself doing by accident a lot or something?

What version of Plasma are you using?

Right, i just tested with some of the widgets which come with plasma and the grabbing hand doesn't popup with those, I think it's probably a bug with the widget i'm using https://www.pling.com/p/1805675/

I'm not sure what to mark issue as but it can be closed
