Fixed a hotkey setting
Works perfect for locking the view so I can't accidentally scroll; it took me a bit to figure out how to do this — the addon defaults to shift-v btw — but I don't know anything about the other functionality like the 200 presets mentioned; some documentation would be helpful for sure, but I just needed something to lock the viewport to the view I'm in and this does that.
