I think such need will be well covered with the persistent-preset-change 
from mohit.

I think the most logical way to do it in Krita would be to add empty 
shortcuts for each favorite preset slot. That way, one can switch fastly 
between each preset kind, and can select different preset for each kind 
using the popup-palette to access lists. And starting with empty 
shortcuts, people can use the keys the want depending on keyboard type 
and layout.


Really with both of these features I believe we'll have more than enough 
convenient and advanced ways to deal with presets for now.
