That's already implemented if I understand you right. Hold ALT and Middle Mouse button: https://nullpointerecho.notion.site/Link-528a55cfa25b4962a19ebbb0f1c1db65
Floatharr
MOTH3R®: The system in place now is different, it's essentially a mouse gesture that throws a guess at which direction you want to view from and is often unpredictable, and has long transitions. I generally have to swipe 2-3 times to get the direction I want.
Blender's system simply has a deadzone around each axis and when alt is held it instantly snaps to an ortho view when you're close enough. Much faster and more predictable.
MOTH3R®
Floatharr: I understand. Makes sense.

MOTH3R®: Yes, exactly what Floatharr said. Additionaly you can orient those snapped views to a rotation that suits you (For the top and bottom view △ ▷ ▽ ◁). The gesture function which is currently implemented allows snapping only to one rotation (orientation).
