Please add a shortcut to select the actual camera for a view. Now that you can select Alpha view with Ctrl+Alt+1, perhaps selecting the Camera for Alpha could be Shift+Ctrl+Alt+1.

What are you trying to achieve? You can select camera’s already with a shortcut. CTRL+5 is stored camera #1, CTRL+6 is #2, etc.

I'm referring to being able to select the camera itself, not recalling its view. When a camera is selected, it allows you to enter precise values for its geometry in the Selected Items tab of the Project Browser (X,Y,Z Position and X,Y,Z Rotation). As far as I know, the only way to select a camera currently is to locate its camera widget in one of the alternate views, i.e. to select the Alpha camera itself, you need to find its widget in the Beta or Gamma view. Adding a keyboard or menu shortcut would be a convenience.

Got you.
I personally always use a lighting desk for that. I can imagine this could be a nice add-on for you.
