Yes, I figured one key for Xv, and a different key for V4L.  Right now V4L 
needs 8 keys (2 each for brightness, contrast, color & hue).  With this 
approach it would only require 1 key (to cycle through the options; +/- is 
handled by the already-mapped arrows keys, as in Xv).  So this would be a net 
reduction of 7 keys!
