Humble SLF question here.

It's been suggested that digital displays are hard to read if everything is vibrating in extreme turbulence. If the conditions are that rough, how easy is it to actually get your fingers onto a button or dial to change settings?

Is it easier to have throttles to physically hold onto while you're trying to change engine settings, than tweak a smallish dial?

If these are dumb questions, I apologise. I'm just wondering if this kind of situation has been factored into Airbus design?
