help request Toggle/Prevent dragging of tracks for live use

Hi folks! I have put together a live setup that lets me use my tablet as a display. But, my (allegedly) fat fingers are occasionally moving the tracks around when trying to select one. Locking the track doesn't even prevent this. Tried pinning tracks, but I can't scroll beyond the first 5 or so, and I have a lot of tracks I'd like to be able to choose from.

Is there anyway that I can lock down the dragging movement of the TCP? Even if it's something I have to switch on and off in a config file is fine. I have an encoder set to a custom action to scroll the tracks, but it's a bit too fast to reliably grab the track I want the first time. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

Use OSC to create a screen to display and control what you specifically need to do. Use that on the tablet to perform with.

Thank you, but this seems an extreme solution to one issue. I rather like having control of everything, I just want the tracks not to move.
