% Returns an incremented or decremented value, depending on keys pressed.

% Usage: newval = KbKeysAction(keysPressed, keyDec, keyInc, currentV, minV, maxV);
%
% keysPressed = 0/1 vector of keys pressed
% keyDec = name of key to DECREASE value
% keyInc = name of key to INCREMENT value
% current = value
% min,max = keep value within this range
