Well, the "z" key is very much "reserved" for the zoom feature, with all
strange combinations of control, meta and shift.
Currently, zooming (pan/scan is in preparation) is implemented for Xv and
syncfb, and I guess others will follow. So why confuse users with other
default keybindings for other plugins?

Wouldn't something like Meta-v be much better suited for cycling through
video modes?

Well, I don't have a dxr3, so I don't really mind ;-)

Just my $0.002 ;-)
