Is the hotbox not fast enough for you? Spacebar + click/drag up/down/left/right. Once you get used to which viewport is up or down, etc, it is very quick and you really don't need to wait to read the hotbox.

Actually the space bar isn’t fast enough for me, I work out of the perspective view enlarged window with the CPS tool and hot keys plus I’m a hot key MJ poly tool freak. user added image

weird, this works for me.

anyway try this:

string $currentPanel = `getPanel -wf`;
string $cameraName = 'persp'
lookThroughModelPanel $cameraName $currentPanel;

change "persp to different view i.e. front side etc...
