This will not be particularly hard to conditionally turn off -- the
question is what is the best mechanism? The main choices are:
* rc param - global for all figures
* figure param - specific to a given figure; interface would be
something like:
fig.auto_toolbar_keys(False)
* axes param: specific for a given axes in figure; interface would
be something like
ax.auto_toolbar_keys(False)
Any preferences, thoughts? I think the ability to turn this off is
pretty important for application developers and others. I guess
another option would be to support an rc param like
figure.toolbar_keys : l, g, f, a
which is a sequence of keys that will generate the default behavior
(log, grid, fullscreen, set_navigate on all). The user could set just
the elements of the list that they want to have the default action for
(or None)
