I would like to bind a keyboard shortcut to change to a specific layout (e.g. Full, Grid, etc.). I've been using sendMessage $ JumpToLayout "Full", however, it will only switch to a layout that is already configured in layoutHook.

I'd like to switch to a layout that is _not_ in the layoutHook. Is this possible?

In theory you could set a layout that is not in the layoutHook, using setLayout and an existential wrapper; in practice, I suspect it would be forgotten fairly quickly and you would be reset back to what is in the layoutHook. The layoutHook is how the rest of xmonad knows about the layout. What are you expecting things that need to run the layout (for example, when a new window opens) to do? Guess and hope?
