There already is the CropModeToggleKey. I think it's mapped to some key
in the Xv output. If softdevice reads the RCU via DirectFB, it can
steal one of the keys for that purpose. Otherwise, I guess that you
could define a key macro within VDR. I've mapped CropModeToggleKey
to User1 on my system.
Given that there are only 4 values of softdevice.CropMode, I don't think
that it makes much sense to occupy two keys. If this is done, I'd
implement three keys, some of which could be left unmapped: CropModeToggleKey,
CropModeZoomInKey, and CropModeZoomOutKey. Keyboard users would use the
zoom keys, and remote control units would keep using CropModeToggleKey.
