Hi Robin,

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that, but the FigureCanvasWxAgg does
not seem to accept “style” as a keyword. Since this canvas is embedded
in a wx.Panel, would there be any way of preventing the canvas from
receiving focus and capturing user input at the panel
level? I think I
tried that once by using SetFocus() which did not seem to work either.

I’ve tried subclassing FigureCanvasWxAgg and defining
key_press_event
(which doesn’t seem to work) and overriding _onKeyDown (which still
does not capture the keys I need). Something weird seems to be
happening to these keys, and was wondering if anyone could help me?

I am able to detect the EVT_KEY_UP for these three keys.
Just not the
key down ones.

Try using the wx.WANTS_CHARS
style on the canvas too.
