The "Snapshots"[1] module of mc^2 lets you do this (and much more).


mc^2? Lua? Wow, how did I miss this one?
Looks like I have some homework now.
Thanks!

I *think* it is a far as it gets, and the problem here, I believe, is not 
so much the shortcut, but rather that you want to cycle through the 
history of custom layouts (which is not so great, because there is no good 
way to forget bad ones), or, say, have the possibility to define more than 
one "active" custom layout to cycle through. The current system assumes 
that your preferred custom layout is whatever you entered last in the edit 
box and that's it. You need to define some way to say "but I want to 
include this and that as well".


If not, is there a way to add my own hotkey? Maybe using some sort of 
plugin or macro system?


I'm afraid at this point it's either to hack the source code i.e. to 
consider history, or else write a small custom mc^2 snippet in Lua where 
you'd hardcode custom layouts you want to cycle through (or not so small 
one providing full layout collection management GUI).
