Shortcut keys for the default views with NumPad

My biggest frustration with Fusion 360 GUI is the lack of shortcut keys for the default views (home, top, front, side, etc.). In other 3D modelling software I use, it is possible to use the NumPad keys for the six standard views. This would make my work to accurately observe the position of components on the overall layout easier.

Having such would be much appreciated!

While you wait for this to be "possibly" implemented, you can install the Add-In called AnyShortcut and assign some of these view commands now.  I do not think you are going to be able to use the Numeric Keypad, without some modifier key such as Ctrl or Alt, but this Add-in does offer keyboard shortcut assignments for your standard views.

Thank you @jhackney1972 ! This works as a band-aid until the feature is implemented. It is somewhat sluggish and seems to have some quirks in orientation of the views.

What I also noticed when installing:
1) The naming conventions (extensions, apps, add-ons, add-ins) across GUI and forums seem quite confusing
2) The location of the AnyShortCut App icon appears on the "Utilities" tab on the GUI, and this required a bit of searching
