matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Thanks for the response Joe.
I guess keyboard events are just not implemented yet.
Mouse events (at least button_press_event) do seem to work.

Nbagg is non-interactive, similar to Agg. No events other than draw events
are supported, as far as I know.
I think there are long term plans to change that (eg, webagg and
mplh5canvas), but it's a fairly tricky problem.
How that helps clarify why things aren't working, anyway.

I'm using matplotlib version 1.4.2 on linux and am having trouble getting key
event
callbacks when using the nbagg backend in an ipython notebook (i've tried in
firefox and chromium).
The key press events seem to not be processed (no matter what key I try to
press). This code does work with the qt backend.
%matplotlib nbagg
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
f=plt.figure()
plt.plot([1,2,3,4])
def handler(event):
 plt.plot([4,3,2,1])
f.canvas.mpl_connect('key_press_event',handler);
Thanks for any help.
