The basic event handling isn't going to be refactored.  I was merely
speaking of how the default keymaps are set.  Yes, you will need to
mpl_connect for each figure object.  This is standard for any GUI control
system.  What you can do is make a function that produces a figure for you
as well as perform any event connections for you.
