Sir,
we are using different layouts frequently every day. So if we can add short cut for layouts also it will be very useful
with thanks

Hello. This thread is a couple of years old, but I'd also like to agree that it would be useful to be able to assign a shortcut key to a layout.

Also, unless I'm missing it, I don't think QS currently allows us to categorize layouts like most other objects in the application, true? If there is already a way to categorize them, let me know. I ask because I now have a bunch of different layouts and having some categorizes to help organize them would be helpful.

Thanks!

Currently it is not possible to categorize layouts but you can assign a shortcut to a layout using the script editor

For those of you who are "C# challenged" as I am, here's a script to assign a given layout to the active chart. Open the QuantShare script editor (Tools -> Script Editor) and paste the script into the window. You will need to update the following line to contain the name of the layout you want to apply:
string layout = "LAYOUT NAME HERE";

You can create a shortcut to execute the script (from the Script Editor, choose Settings -> Add Current Script to Bookmark Panel), or use the QuantShare feature to create a custom shortcut discussed in this article:
http://www.quantshare.com/sa-565-custom-shortcuts-move-a-chart-to-display-the-last-quotes-data

// Script: Apply Layout
// Date: 2014-07-19
// Apply the layout to the active chart. Will be used with a shortcut key.

// Assign the layout name to the 'layout' variable. Update this variable to contain
// the name of the layout you want to apply. Do not include the ".lay" extension.
string layout = "LAYOUT NAME HERE";

// Get the ID of the active chart
Chart chart = Charts.GetSelectedChart();
long id = chart.ChartID;

// Apply the appropriate layout to the active chart using the chart id
App.Main.UpdateChartLayout(id, layout);
