Modifier shortcuts

I wish there was either a button combo or CC control for turning modifiers on/off. Here's my use case:

I'm using the Novation Summit as my master keyboard. Now, its keyboard can be split to play parts A and B, and each part has its own MIDI channel. I often want to for example use the left-hand part for playing an external instrument with MIDI and the right part for playing Summit itself. In this case, I obviously don't want the right part sending MIDI. Unfortunately, I can't disable MIDI channels per part on Summit itself, so currently I'm using Blokas Midihub controlled by Morningstar MC8 foot controller for turning channel filtering on/off as needed.

To simplify my setup, it would be awesome to have this feature right there on MRCC instead, but turning modifiers on/off currently requires a lot of button presses. Having some kinds of button combo shortcuts for turning modifiers on/off, or enabling CC control for them, would be perfect for solving this.

couldn't you just set up 2 configurations with the difference being the channel filtering? Then it's a simpler Load process and when MIDI Program Change is implemented, sending program change messages will do the toggling for you.

Yep that could be a workaround, but maintaining two almost identical configurations sounds a bit painful at least until my routing stabilizes a bit.
