default close window key combo

[john lunzer]

I always thought it was odd that pyqtgraph didn't have any default behavior to close its plot windows. I wrote a support function so I didn't have to add the code to every program I write.

def add_close(window=None):

    '''

    adds close keyboard short for any of the following: \n

    Ctrl+w \n

    Ctrl+F4 \n

    Ctrl+q \n

    \n

    `(for PyQtGraph)`    

    '''

    import pyqtgraph as pg

    if window == None:

        pass

    else:

        #Create close shortcut

        cl_keyseq = pg.QtGui.QKeySequence("Ctrl+w")

        cl_short = pg.QtGui.QShortcut(cl_keyseq,window,window.close)

        

        cl_keyseq_alt = pg.QtGui.QKeySequence("Ctrl+F4")

        cl_short_alt = pg.QtGui.QShortcut(cl_keyseq_alt,window,window.close)

        

        cl_keyseq_alt2 = pg.QtGui.QKeySequence("Ctrl+q")

        cl_short_alt2 = pg.QtGui.QShortcut(cl_keyseq_alt2,window,window.close)

    return

Is there a better way to do this? Or perhaps someway to get it built into pyqtgraph?

I would be in favor of adding a single keyboard shortcut (ctrl+w) to the classes in `pyqtgraph/graphicsWindows.py`. You could assign the shortcut in the `__init__()` methods and use a global config parameter to allow the user to change or disable the shortcut (see CONFIG_OPTIONS in pyqtgraph/__init__.py). Would you like to make a PR for this?

I would like to. I'll need to find some time to make the change myself.
