It seems like there's a use case for an every quiver plot style key that can be set when many quiver plots are needed with common options (e.g., scale arrows).

I posted a question to the TeX StackExchange about it and came up with a working implementation. 

\pgfplotsset{
    every quiver plot/.style={},
    quiver/.prefix code={\pgfqkeys{/pgfplots/quiver}{/pgfplots/every quiver plot}}
}

If that's suitable it can just be patched into pgfplotsplothandlers.code.tex.

Directly when I read you request, I tried out the suggested fix and stumbled over some key evaluation issue: I found some keys with prefix /pgfplots which sound useful in that context, but which would not be evaluated correctly. At that time, I decided to look into it eventually - and now I have to realize that I did not look into it until now :-(

I fear a general implementation might easily suffer from key path issues although I have to dig out why I came to that conclusion.

Sorry for answering that late.

I will come back to it eventually.

Thanks for looking into that. I guess the devil is in the details which is why I'm happy you're the developer and I'm not.
