Its works like a charm over Jupyter Notebooks
Hello @joferkington
I'm thinking if is possible mixes or embedded this class or its configurations on your library mpldatacursor because the code below works perfectly with %matplotlib notebook, unlike mpldatacursor doesn't work on jupyter notebook.
What do you think about this?
from matplotlib import cbook
class DataCursor(object):
"""A simple data cursor widget that displays the x,y location of a
matplotlib artist when it is selected."""
def __init__(self, artists, tolerance=5, offsets=(-20, 20),
template='x: %0.2f\ny: %0.2f', display_all=False):
"""Create the data cursor and connect it to the relevant figure.
"artists" is the matplotlib artist or sequence of artists that will be
selected.
"tolerance" is the radius (in points) that the mouse click must be
within to select the artist.
"offsets" is a tuple of (x,y) offsets in points from the selected
point to the displayed annotation box
"template" is the format string to be used. Note: For compatibility
with older versions of python, this uses the old-style (%)
formatting specification.
"display_all" controls whether more than one annotation box will
be shown if there are multiple axes. Only one will be shown
per-axis, regardless.

datacursor works in Notebook, as far as I could see. But keyboard shortcuts seems to be not working (in particular shift + LEFT/RIGHT which is super useful :/
Indeed, d keyboard input works. But Shift+arrow keyboard shortcut does not work. Not sure, but it could be conflicting with a Jupyter Notebook shortcut (although d is also a default Jupyter notebook shortcut and is working), or maybe it has something to do with the fact that it is running in browser and then, the shift modifier might not be passed along?
