Apps: All Platforms: Windows, macOS and iPad While transforming any object with the move tool (whether resizing, rotating, skewing or moving) you can now hold space to temporarily toggle Lock Children on or off (to achieve the opposite behaviour of what you currently have set in the context toolbar).

The command "Lock Children" appears outside of the visible toolbar area and needs to get an extra click on the arrows at the right end to become visible (+ accessible) – even on a 24" monitor. So I wonder if there is a chance to get it moved to a different position? For instance I would not mind, in situations "Lock Children" is usable at all, not to have the "Picture Frame (Picture Frame)" text at the left edge of this toolbar but rather to be able to use this space for hidden items of the bar instead. Also I wonder if there would be a way to assign a shortcut key command to access "Lock Children" without that additional mouse clicks. Unfortunately it seems not to be possible because this feature has no menu entry. Is there any modifier key I can hold when transforming a picture frame to lock its child temporarily – instead clicking the option to become visible and ticking "Lock Children"? By looking for any alternative use I noticed that the Help, neither on- nor offline, doesn't find it on a search for "Lock Children" or "children" – which appears odd because it is a fundamental feature. Accordingly "Lock Children" is not mentioned in the Picture Frame article.
