View: Key bindings for views

[korpx]

I find the flow of my design process is highly dependent on quickly switching views. Would it be possible to use shortcut keys for the different views?

Are you thinking something like using the numpad? Like 2, 4, 8, 6 are front, left, back and right? Maybe 5 is top, 0 is isometric (I've seen that elsewhere, I think). Bottom might be out of luck, or can use '.'

I believe OpenSCAD (on Ubuntu 64bit) behaves like this; (CTRL+)4 top, 8 front, 5 bottom, 7 right, 9 back, 6 left, 0 isometric, P center model.

(In relation the defualt isometric view where positive X axis going right, Y going inwards, Z going upwards)

Then OpenSCAD bindings don't seem very intuitive. It looks like they were just counting up through their menu.

I started adding custom keyboard bindings way back, but I kinda dropped the ball on it, I will add this to my todo-list. (since they would be customizable, you could set them to whatever you want...within the limits of what browsers will allow (which is a pain))
