Excerpt from course
The Toolbox: Layout shortcuts
The Toolbox is located on the left hand side of the Maya user interface. It contains icons that open tools for transforming your objects within Maya (selection, move, rotate, scale) as well as layout shortcuts for changing the views and panel layouts.
The Quick Layout buttons shortcuts allow you to select a different panel or switch to another layout.
