TV for shutter? You Canon people are weird

Quick specific question - if she goes manual, is there a button which can be set as a function button to switch the dial between controlling aperture and shutter speed?

Dweeble,

Yes, we revel in our weirdness 

I think Tv stands for time value (but don't quote me on that).

It's been a long time, but I don't think there is a button to alternate between aperture and shutter.

If I remember right, If she's in manual, she has to hit the Q button and then the arrow keys to move from shutter speed to aperture, move the main dial to change it, and then hit the set key to enter it.
