Hmmm, I tried to learn C code when it first came out, gave up on it after 10 years or so (not as complicated as algebra or women, but still too much for me). Looking over the code here though it appears it's the hex for the ASCII characters;

http://www.ascii-code.com/

Looking that over, hex for "V" is 56, so;

[Cmd195]
Name=Snorkel_depth
Ctxt=1
Str=1033
Key0=0x56,C,"V"

The second part of the string has either capital C or lowercase c which apparently translates to unshifted (just press the key no CTRL or SHIFT or whatever needed) or CTRL to activate. So if you want the key to activate with a single keypress you would use a capitol C in that slot, obviously your game has something mapped to the CTRL key somehow, when I press the CTRL key and nothing else, nothing happens. Dunno what the codes would be for SHIFT or ALT.

But in your case for the plain jane letter V, just change the lowercase c to capital C, change the 0xBA (ASCII semicolon) to 0x56 (ASCII letter V) and it should work.
