How to disable panning/dragging in Observables in GLMakie? I just want to click on scatterplot, not suddenly fall into constant zooming:

Current code for mouse click control is simple:

```julia
  on(events(f).mousebutton, priority = 1) do event
        if event.button == Mouse.left && event.action == Mouse.press
        end
    end

```

There are panlock and zoomlock attributes or you can look for `deregister_interaction`

I tried this:

```julia
ax = Axis(
        f[1, 1],
        xautolimitmargin = (0, 0),
        yautolimitmargin = (0, 0),
        title = str,
        xlabel = "Channels",
        ylabel = "Index of event variable",

        xpanlock = true,
        ypanlock = true,
        xzoomlock = true,
        yzoomlock = true,
        xrectzoom = false,
        yrectzoom = false,
    )

```

There is an effect, but you need to find correct axis!
