Re: [Matplotlib-users] Assigning "k" key for xscaling

[Gökhan S. <gok...@gm...>]

Hello,

I could these keys into rcsetup.py file as well as matplotlibrc.template
and update backend_bases.py accordingly. And add some documentation
reflecting
the changes made.

# Event keys to interact with figures/plots via keyboard

fullscreen : 'f'
home : 'h'
reset : 'r'
back : 'c'
forward : 'v'
pan : 'p'
zoom : 'o'
save : 's'
grid : 'g'
yscale : 'l'
xscale : 'k'


*Notes:*

Matthias, leaving values as empty will remove the key short-cut.

Don't understand exactly what 'a' does?

f doesn't toggle full-screen --using qt4agg backend.

There are a couple function duplicates. (eg. back with 'c' and left and
backspace keys. How can represent them? Create a list inside the dictionary?
back = ['c', 'left', 'backspace']

'o' seems like unnecessary. Since you have to select an area using mouse.

's' doesn't behave correctly here. Shouldn't it bring the save dialog?
Instead I am getting:
TypeError: save_figure() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
