Is Your Enhancement Related to a Problem?
The problem is, every time you find a good preset you like, it's a pain to come back to it at a later point. If emulators and games can have quicksave and quickload buttons, why can we?
Your Suggested Enhancement
My suggestion is taking the top row number keys with a modifier to save, and another modifier to recover. Have this auto save to a config file for easy recovery. Bonus would be a key sequence that could show you a list of the saves.

Research direction
Start in the projectM Standalone SDL2 Frontend and identify where top-row number-key input and config-file persistence are handled. Define the save and load key modifiers and the preset state to persist, then verify recovery in the standalone app; the optional save-list behavior would need a separate scope decision.
