Hello,
“l” key does the log - linear scaling for y-axis. I have made a minor change to use “k” for x-axis scaling.
Patch added. Feel free to add if you find it useful.

Hi Gökhan, Hi list members,
This is really a missing feature in matplotlib in my opinion and it's great
that you took the time to make an suggestion, but I would prefer capital "L"
for the xaxis-scaling like gnuplot although I'm not sure this is possible.
What do you and other list members think about that?
Kind regards,
Matthias

It is very simple to change key-assignment. Take a look at the backend_bases.py code (search for event.key instances) :
elif event.key == 'L':
I was thinking to move y-scaling to “y” and x-scaling to “x” but x and y are assigned to something else (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/navigation_toolbar.html)
For me toggling “k” is simpler for me than doing Shift-L.
Maybe these options could be provided in the matplotlibrc file. Users can make their key mapping based on their choice. That requires some more coding

Hi Gökhan,
I just wanted to discuss the key, because I think this patch should be part of
matplotlib and not only of individual users. I think it is worth be be added
to the mpl-tracker at matplotlib download | SourceForge.net or maybe
one of the developers has the time to commit this small change?
I think your idea about key-mappings in the matplotlib-rc is a good option to
customize keyboard short cuts and even remove short-cuts which aren't of
intrest for the individual user. Furthermore the latter yields space for
keyboard shortcuts, which are used in one's own program.
Kind regards,
Matthias

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)

My initial patch is ready for your review.
I tested with latest svn and customized key-mapping (from matplotlibrc) is working correctly.
Please review, and let me know if there would be any better solution, variable naming, placing etc… I can also update the http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/navigation_toolbar.html accordingly.

Hi Gökhan,
I'm sorry I didn't had the time to look into your patch in the last days.
Today I did have a look at it and in my opinion you did a great job - Thanks!
The point is that I'm not a developer and therefore cannot commit it right
away 
.
Although it is great stuff I tried to even improve it. Attached you find my
svn-diff of the backend_bases.py, where I tried to get rid of the different
handling of *3* keys for home and *1* for save etc. I converted all key-maps
into lists and therefore the number of keys doesn't matter. With that I can
do also
xscale : L, k
in my matplotlibrc and allow for both of our favorite keys for the toggling of
the xscale
Concerning the names of the variables you find some changes in the attached
patch, which are not yet complete in my opinion, but I didn't want to spoil
your lines to much. If I have to decide between short and meaningful variable
names, I prefer meaningful at least if they don't blow up to 80 chars ...
In my opinion your next patch should be a part of matplotlibs svn, but as I
mentioned above I'm just a user. In case I can help you somehow in bringing
up this patch, don't hesitate to write again and hopefully I have the time to
help.
Kind regards,
Matthias

Hi list, Hi Gökhan,
I once more would like to say that I like the 2 new features introduced by
Gökhan (key 'k' for xscaling and the generalized handling of the key-mapping,
which allows the user to choose its prefered key for a certain task) and I'd
like to see this in matplotlib.
I attached a patch (against todays svn) of my final version, which is a
slightly modified version of Gökhans patch.
If anybody could test it and comments on this I'd be happy. Otherwise I will
place the patch on the patch tracker in (let's say) a week.
Thanks in advance for any help in order to bring this into matplotlib.
Kind regards,
Matthias

Concerning the names of the variables you find some changes in the attached
patch, which are not yet complete in my opinion, but I didn't want to spoil
your lines to much. If I have to decide between short and meaningful
variable names, I prefer meaningful at least if they don't blow up to 80
charsIn my opinion your next patch should be a part of matplotlibs svn, but as I
mentioned above I'm just a user. In case I can help you somehow in bringing
up this patch, don't hesitate to write again and hopefully I have the time
to help.Kind regards,

Hi -- these look like useful changes. In most of matplotlib rc we
have a namespace for the rc keys, so I prefer something like
keymap.fullscreen : f # toggling
keymap.home : h, r, home # home or reset mnemonic
Also, could you include in your patch a diff against
mpl/doc/users/navigation_toolbar.rst
documenting the changes.
Also, I'm not sure you need
+ # to get a common standard we move all keys for each action into a list
+ for key in [fullscreen_keys, home_keys, back_keys, forward_keys,
+ pan_keys, zoom_keys, save_keys, grid_keys,
+ toggle_xscale_keys, toggle_yscale_keys, all]:
+ if type(key) is not list:
+ key = list(key)

Hi list, Hi Gökhan,
I once more would like to say that I like the 2 new features introduced by
Gökhan (key 'k' for xscaling and the generalized handling of the key-mapping,
which allows the user to choose its prefered key for a certain task) and I'd
like to see this in matplotlib.I attached a patch (against todays svn) of my final version, which is a
slightly modified version of Gökhans patch.If anybody could test it and comments on this I'd be happy. Otherwise I will
place the patch on the patch tracker in (let's say) a week.Thanks in advance for any help in order to bring this into matplotlib.

If you setup your validate func properly in rcsetup, you can guarantee
that each of these keymap.* entries will be a list of strings, even
those changes interactively from the prompt. So I suggest changing
each of these key entries to have a validate_stringlist validator and
then you won't need this check.
Thanks,
JDH
Hi John,
thanks a lot for taking the time to go through this patch. I tried to
incorporate you remarks and attached a new patch.
The most difficult task is about the
documentation 'mpl/doc/users/navigation_toolbar.rst', because I'm not sure
what is needed and I not familiar with the used programming language.
Kind regards,
Matthias

Hey mattias,
I just committed this to svn HEAD. I tested the L key on WXAgg, TkAgg
and Qt4Agg and it is working on all but WXAgg. Some wx expert may
want to look and make sure that the shifted keys are getting properly
recognized on wx.
As for the docs in mpl/doc/users/navigation_toolbar.rst, the language
is sphinx and restructured text
http://sphinx.pocoo.org/rest.html
It looks like you got it right by following the pattern. This is the
document used to generate the mpl html and pdf documentation, eg
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/navigation_toolbar.html
Thanks again!

Hey mattias,
Thanks John adding this feature into the code-base. Also Matthias thanks for your additions and keeping the subject hot
I just committed this to svn HEAD. I tested the L key on WXAgg, TkAgg
and Qt4Agg and it is working on all but WXAgg. Some wx expert may
want to look and make sure that the shifted keys are getting properly
recognized on wx.
L is working for me both for Qt4Agg and WXAgg.
For some reason I can’t make “f” key toggling the fullscreen. It does nothing -no error messages and no life sign. Any confirmation?
Lastly, I know “s” behaviour is also being discussed in another thread, and I have seen with WXAgg it raises a not implemented error. I think “s” could simply bring the save dialogue instead of showing those messages. What do you think?

I see that you also updated the documentation. I was waiting for someone to take a look at the code before making changes there. Thanks again.
