Interesting, I took a look at the code and you are correct. Cv = CB as
a key shortcut. Here's the relevant chunk of code. I'm not sure what
this was put in for originally. Perhaps we hoped to eventually do
Vect Coloring? Or then again, maybe it's because someone kept accidently
hitting Cv instead of CB.

    case SEQ('C','f'): k = DRAWER_DIFFUSE; goto pickcolor;
    case SEQ('C','e'): k = DRAWER_EDGECOLOR; goto pickcolor;
    case SEQ('C','n'): k = DRAWER_NORMALCOLOR; goto pickcolor;
    case SEQ('C','b'): k = DRAWER_BBOXCOLOR; goto pickcolor;
    case SEQ('C','v'):
    case SEQ('C','B'): k = DRAWER_BACKCOLOR; goto pickcolor;
     pickcolor:
        ui_pickcolor( k );
        break;


Doesn't seem to cause any problems at least.

Enjoy!
