Zoom does not respect Ctrl key for retaining aspect ratio #599

Description

Describe the issue

The tooltip for the pan button widget includes the text "x/y fixes axes, CTRL fixes aspect". Holding down x/y works, but Ctrl does not retain the aspect ratio when zooming with the right mouse button (at least not in Firefox).

Versions

I'm using the quay.io/jupyter/scipy-notebook docker image with image id 36fc325c0178.

+ python -c 'import sys; print('\''\n'\'',sys.version); import ipympl; print('\''ipympl version:'\'', ipympl.__version__)'
