Feature Request - Read Only mode for mate-terminal
Background to Request
Konsole has a read only mode which is very useful when launching command line vpn clients and other tools which you don't want to accidentally close.
I have implemented anti-close capabilities using a combination of profile settings and compiz window manager rules to remove window close decorations based on window titles. Bit nasty, but workable for now. But a proper read only mode protecting the windows contents from keyboard input would really help.
Expected behaviour
Select read only menu option, activate read only via hotkey or launch from command line with read only flag.
Actual behaviour
Terminal switches to read only mode where keyboard input is blocked (except read only hotkey toggle) and message is displayed on terminal indicating its in read only mode. Window close events should also be ignored (beyond menu Close Window).
Mouse selection and copy/paste ( and any other read only activities ) should remain unchanged.
Konsole Implementation
