Keyboard shortcuts for toggling minor ticks grid and opening figureoptions window #6616
Description
I'd like to add two keyboard shortcuts: 1) "toggle the minor ticks grid" and 2) "open the figureoptions window". The first one should probably be mapped to "G" ("g" toggles the major ticks grid), but I don't have a good idea as to what to pick for the second one.
Thoughts?

What is the rationale for adding a shortcut for opening the figure options window? One can't do anything with that window without using the mouse or trackpad, so to me it makes sense to open it with a click. I think the shortcut would just be code and cognitive clutter.

There's already a bunch of keyboard navigation shortcuts which are just as accessible from the mouse (home, back, forward, zoom, pan); I personally find them rather useful.

I'm not saying all shortcuts are useless; but among those you listed, zoom and pan seem marginal because they don't reduce jumping between keyboard and mouse. We can agree to disagree; I won't oppose your PR when it comes.
