For 'L', this is perfect -- this behaviour was designed like that and you 
have fixed it for independent switching of z and cb.

The 'l' was one of the hotkeys firstly implemented; it switches the log 
scale of what axis the user expects and uses most frequently.
  Thus, it should switch "log y" for "plot" command, and "log z + log cb" 
for "splot" command (in both 3D and map views). It was doing so until now. 
It is documented in the help screen, hotkey "h":
 l  `builtin-toggle-log` y logscale for plots, z logscale for splots
You are right there should be
 l  `builtin-toggle-log` y logscale for plots, z and cb for splots
I've just fixed it.

I would like to ask you to switch the 'l' behaviour to the traditional one.

Thanks, Petr
