[Bf-funboard] Feature Request: 3D Window locked on Active Object

[Konrad Haenel]

AFAIK this feature is already implemented in Softimage and deemed really 
useful.
 
Just another small thing that might ease work for the busy animator. Is 
anybody willing to make a collection of small but cool ideas for Blender 
which are supposedly easy to implement?
