[Matplotlib-users] conflicts with navigation bar events

[<Jea...@hz...>]

Hi all!

How can I use the keyboard events up/down/right/left without starting an interaction with the navigation toolbar?
I connected to the keypress events and everything looks ok until I press the down key: my connected method gets called once and the navigation toolbar then gets the focus. From that point on it catches all of my arrow presses.
I noticed that using shifted keys could be a workaround but I really do not like it...


Thanks in advance for help!

cheers JF
