I'm new to Maya, but I've been using other 3D programs for a while.

One thing that I was very much accustomed to on the previous program I was using that is not present in Maya was a lack of being able to control the view with the number pad. I wanted to know if there was a way I could set it so that:
4 = left view
5 = front view
6 = right view
8 = top view
2 = bottom view
3 = perspective view.
