Locking Keywords

[ShSimpson]

Is there any way to lock the keywords at their current state so that you can't add anymore without unlocking them. My issue is that I have gone to great lengths to make sure that I have all my keywords in place and then when I accidentally type one wrong it just adds it. I always have to go back and tag the correct one and then delete the misspelled word. I can't find anything in a search or in the various help methods.

I don't think so, you may wish to place a feature request though through the link in the tool bar at the top of the page.

Yes, I wish there were a lock also. Here's a work around from Troy Gaul.

When I'm doing a ton of keyword work, I too get caught by the 'accidental' additions.
I have a top level keyword '_accidental', with the leading underscore so it sorts at the top of the list. I then right-click _accidental, and on the context drop-down, I select, 'Put New Keywords Inside this Keyword'. _accidental is then tagged with an asterisk, and any new keywords appear as children of _accidental. Still a pain, but at least they're all in one place, and easily managed.
