The keyboard shortcut is simply the bracket keys (no modifiers): [ to go left, ] to go right 

 

Just for fun: the period (.) and comma (,) keys will cycle through the gradient presets

It's not possible to record an action to change the gradient type, at least that's what I believe. I'll wait for the scripters to see this thread, but I'm suspicious that it is possible using a script either.

If it can't be recorded in an action, scripting it would require a deeper knowledge of Action Manager code than I possess.

 

Usually with actions, you can record the selection of a tool preset, with the tool preset having the desired properties.
