However, the shortcut does not seem to have any effect. Furthermore, none of the other equivalent -- albeit undocumented -- keybindings as defined in `plt.rcParams` (`'keymap.quit_all': ['W', 'cmd+W', 'Q'],`) have any effect either.  \r\nThis is in contrast to `ctrl + w`, which is supposed to close a single figure, and does that just fine. \r\n\r\n**Code for reproduction**\r\n\r\n\u003c!--A minimum code snippet required to reproduce the bug.\r\nPlease make sure to minimize the number of dependencies required, and provide\r\nany necessary plotted data.\r\nAvoid using threads, as Matplotlib is (explicitly) not thread-safe.--\u003e\r\n\r\n```python\r\nfig1 = plt.figure()\r\nfig2 = plt.figure()\r\n# press shift + w\r\n```\r\n\r\n**Actual outcome**\r\nNothing happens.\r\n\r\n\u003c!--The output produced by the above code, which may be a screenshot, console output, etc.--\u003e\r\n\r\n**Expected outcome**\r\n\r\n\u003c!--A description of the expected outcome from the code snippet--\u003e\r\n\u003c!--If this used to work in an earlier version of Matplotlib, please note the version it used to work on--\u003e\r\n\r\nAll figures are closed. \r\n\r\n**Matplotlib version**\r\n\u003c!--Please specify your platform and versions of the relevant libraries you are using:--\u003e\r\n  * Operating system: Ubuntu, Windows\r\n  * Matplotlib version: 2.2.3, 3.0.3\r\n  * Matplotlib backend (`print(matplotlib.get_backend())`): TkAgg\r\n  * Python version: python 2.7.13, python 3.7.3\r\n  * Jupyter version (if applicable):\r\n  * Other libraries: \r\n\r\n\u003c!--Please tell us how you installed matplotlib and python e.g., from source, pip, conda--\u003e\r\n\u003c!--If you installed from conda, please specify which channel you used if not the default--\u003e\r\n\r\nUbuntu 17.03 / python 2.7.13 / matplotlib version 2.2.3 from source; \r\nWindows 10 / python 3.7.3 / matplotlib version 3.0.3 via Anaconda (default channel) ","author":{"url":"https://github.com/paulbrodersen","@type":"Person","name":"paulbrodersen"},"datePublished":"2019-05-13T16:53:19.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/14208/matplotlib/issues/14208"}
