Snap Viewport Camera? There's a navigation option in 3Dcoat where you can just hold the Shift button while rotating  your view and it will snap to nearest elevation (front back side etc).

This renders the need for switching views null. I know there is something similar in Blender but would love to remap what ever that option is to Shift in the keymap menu.

Any ideas folks?
You can hold down Alt while dragging your view angle around. This will snap the angle to the default numpad angles.
