How can I create shortcuts to layouts

I've created several custom layouts, which I want to access via shortcut, rather than selecting HOME > Layout > CustomLayout on the toolstrip.

Is there a way to change the layout using a shortcut/hotkey?

Did you read Yair's article about setting the layout programmtically?

This works perfectly, thanks. For future reference, I've added the following to shortcuts in the toolbar for each layout:

com.mathworks.mde.desk.MLDesktop.getInstance.restoreLayout('LargePane')

I can then call this using a mnemonic (alt-1 for me).

This requires a Layout called 'LargePane'

You can set Shortcuts under Matlab > Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcut, but only for some pre-defined actions; changing the layout is not amongst them, at least not for my Matlab version. So I fear the answer to your question is NO.
