RE: Any hotkey to Set Away?
You could do it, without a script, by using the Personalized Statusses in Plus!.

Though this also requires that you at least set a name tag or a personal message or an auto-responder message.

But there is a trick here...

If you set the command /away as the auto-responder message, you actually send nothing to the chat window as an auto-response when someone messages you... That is: you actually set your status to away, but since it is already away, nothing will happen!

Bottom line: this can perfectly be done by using the Personalized Status feature in Plus!, like so:
Plus! > Preferences & Options > Customize! > Personalized Status > Add...
And then something like this:
