Hi Xebar. Use C-x C-q. This works for every file, I use it in particular
for notes that I do not want to edit.
It runs the command read-only-mode which changes whether the current
buffer is read-only. Actually the command switches the local variable
buffer-read-only, so you can use that variable as local for every file
that you do not want to edit by default. At the end of those files add:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
%%% Local Variables:
%%% buffer-read-only: t
%%% End:
#+END_EXAMPLE
And every time that you want to edit them just do C-x C-q
Best,
Jorge.
