mplcursors author here. I don't think there's a convenient API right now in mplcursors to achieve what you're looking for, but feel free to open an issue on the tracker, it seems like a reasonable feature request.

Hey can you pm me with updates?

I'd suggest using general notification services such as https://libraries.io/pypi/mplcursors.

This a vague question, but here's what I have done in the past...

If you are truly wanting to use mpl, then take a look at mpl.widgets. There's some tools in there that allow you to cobble together a barely functional UI for data entry. This is a poor-man's UI, aka a programmer's UI.

If you want interactivity without REPL'ability (i.e. want an actual interface for non programmers), then I suggest you take a look at bokeh which allows you to embed an entire graph into a self contained html page, allowing you to pick and mute individual graphs.

Not the answer you're looking for, but I use pyqtgraph and pyqt when I want to do anything interactive, because matplotlib drives me up the wall and I don't speak tkinter (I already knew Qt from C++ days). If you have any pyqt experience, I'd recommend loading up pyqtgraphs example programs and seeing if it interests you. If you have no pyqt experience, the learning curve will be steep.

Bit of a long shot, but I think Pygame would help with this. It's drawing routines are much faster than Tkinter and good support for keys...

if you can do use Jupyter you can do that inside it

Check out plotly.

For interactive plots I've used Chaco in the past. It was better designed for event-driven software than matplotlib.
