with "reserve slot" i mean the ability to set slots to work as placeholders in your set-up, so those get "ignored" and dont work like the grid slots. they only become active if you manually move a table in one of these slots (using "move table to slot x" hotkey for example).
First, sorry I've been out of town for the weekend at my friends wedding. So I haven't been able to attend to stuff.
Now, usually I like to look at use-cases instead of feature requests. I think thats more practical. You just want an area of your screen dedicated to 'special' tables.
SaT's "grid layout" is meant to occupy the entire playing area that you want to use on your screen. Your "reserved slots" idea I would think would fall under that. Its an area where you would be playing on tables. You say that the "Keep Table In Grid" hotkey is no good for you because those slots will normally get used during normal play, and that would cause you too much eye and mouse movement. But thats kinda contradictory because if you will have a special table there, you will be moving your eye/mouse there too, and on your most important table nonetheless! Normally using the "Keep Table In Grid" hotkey is used for this exact purpose. The table is locked into its own slot and won't go back to the stack until you toggle it off. This was originally added for MTT final tables and cash HU grudgematches.
SaT's "Ignored Tables" is meant for tables that you want to be outside of your grid layout aka playing area. This feature was initially added so people could observe tables such as HU matches or bubble tables from the same MTT. There is no point in these tables taking up grid/playing space. But some people use Ignored Tables for other reasons too.
So, conceptually your resereved slots idea kinda falls inbetween the current functionality. I kinda think its too radical of a change to add into SaT and frankly would confuse most of the current users. I tend to think its more suited to keep those tables as part of your grid and just use the "Keep Table In Grid" hotkey. If you're gonna have to move your eye/mouse that far for the most important tables in your session anyway, then they are essentially part of your playing space
However, I'm wondering if we can't get the Ignored Tables feature to work better for your scenario.
For the hotkeys.. what you can do is use the Advanced Option to "also allow action hotkeys on Ignored Tables". I can look into also allowing the betbox feature to work on Ignored Tables as well.
There is also an extra advanced option to set the exact location for when tables get Ignored. But, all tables that get Ignored would move to this exact spot, so I guess you'd still have to drag them off of one another.

So that might be the a hangup, causing a little inconvenience of dragging..

Those areas look correct. My only concern would be on the PokerStars table. The background behind the cards is a reddish black color. The area you've circled would work in that example screenshot because the card is a spade, which with that 4 color deck is "black". However, if that card is a heart, it would probably be "red", and SaT MIGHT get confused and think there is no card there, instead thinking that it is just seeing the table background. You would need to test this to be sure. Another potential solution would be to change that red background to something that wouldn't match any of the 4 colors of the deck cards
