That completely disables the toolbar, which is likely not what the OP wants. There are a bunch of rcParams, listed at the bottom of matplotlibrc_template (and of the default matplotlibrc file that is installed) that can be used to turn off the key bindings without disabling the toolbar. Personally, I think that putting in all those key bindings by default was a major mistake, one that should be reversed ASAP. Having the plot jump to fullscreen when one bumps "f" is rude. The first time it happened I had no idea what was going on or how to recover from it--I thought maybe my X-server had gone bonkers. And does one actually save a displayed figure so often that it is useful to have the "s" shortcut to save one from having to click the toolbar button? I could go on with this complaint...
