A shortcut is globally applied to the entire database, i.e., the defined properties are valid

A shortcut added to a layout has to first be defined and specified in the database.

8.4.4 Defining layouts
The Edit menu features the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands. Use these commands to copy complete layouts or
individual windows of a layout and paste them to the Tree View or a different layout. Shortcuts can also be
copied and added to a layout.
You can also use the Insert Layout command from the Edit menu to define a new layout or copy and modify an
existing layout. The dialog to enter the layout properties is displayed.

menu (right mouse button) or Properties|Layout in the menu bar; the dialog described above is then displayed,

If an application not running in a window is to be launched when loading a layout, the corresponding shortcut to
this application is added to the layout.

windows are relative to the upper left corner of the region.
When loading a layout, all windows which don’t fit into the respective region are automatically resized until they

set as testing region (right click on the region in the Tree View and check Set As Testing Region. Windows
