default "q" shortcut?

Hi,

one thing I missed when I switched from Gnuplot to matplotlib was that I
can't press "q" to close a window but have to use the window manager; in
one environment I work in that means I have to use the mouse to close a
window.

I made a custom key handler that does the following:

        try:
            event.canvas.manager.destroy()
        except AttributeError:
            pass

which seems to work, at least with GtkAgg (I didn't venture to find out
why the AttributeError is raised, it works in spite of that).

Would it make sense to have that shortcut by default (and working for all
windowing backends)?

two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.

I am +1 on that feature request. I don't have time to code it, though
:).

Can you post your patch so that others can review?

I don't have a patch. I just wrote a key handler that runs the snippet
I gave when "q" is pressed. I hope there's a better way to do it anyway :slight_smile:
