Milestone
The basic idea is to have a menu entry or option somewhere which, when enabled, disables all navigation (except from enter) and deletion keys, and puts the cursor automatically at the end of the current text. It would also be useful to disable selection using the mouse while this feature is active. This is to prevents writers from editing the text they've already typed. Of course those keys would only be disabled in the text editor where the actual chapters/scenes are written, not throughout the entire application. It could be called "Disable editing".
Such a tool is really helpful to prevent writers from editing what was entered while they're writing (I suffer from this). This option would be particularly useful in a first draft situation.
Further options building on this feature could be to include options such as automatically turning this off when the user switches to another chapter/scene which already contains text (thought being: the user now wants to edit) and a clock which, once set, would prevent this option from being turned off until the clock reaches zero. It could be a countdown or a clock which is active between certain times.
I tried searching, but could not find a feature request for this.
