I've practically used up all my single keys so i created different mappers. Same sense as scrolling through sampler banks, is it possible to load a different mapped key settings on the fly?

No, there is no action to do this.
Workaround:
What you could do is to have a single mapping but use variable(s) and execute one action when true and another when not.
Example: Use a button to toggle (true/false) a variable...
toggle "$mysetup" (use any name, just have the $ at the beginning)
Then each button can have ...
var "$mysetup" ? ActionA : ActionB
the button will execute ActionA if the variable is true and ActionB if not

What I sometimes do is put the functionality on pad pages, and then use the function-key pad-page mapping (keyboard to pads)
And then I only map keyboard keys to select specific pad pages

I hope it's ok if I just post them here
First step is to map something to the pads. I suggest using the pre-made "keyboard to pads" definition from the download section:

I made a video about it recently:

After that you can skip between the pad pages using F9 and F10 and trigger the pads with F1 - F8 and shift+F1 - shift+F8
You can also map keyboard keys to take you directly to a pad page by add the script pad_page <name>, like pad_page 'hotcues'
You can also make a pad page page that is simply an index pad page for other pad pages.
I show that in this video:
After that you just need to add all the script you like to custom pad pages. I made a video about custom pad pages a while ago:
Here are few examples of custom pad pages I've made, and which I can trigger using this setup:
