Multicam view shortcuts on keyboard

On Final Cut, I have the ability to quickly press 1-8 or whatever to select the active angle. I need this same capability to be able to edit in any meaningful way for tight compositions, especially since I have to select angles for each and every segment between breaks—which happens when an 'um' is removed, for example, and not just normal edits—making multicam editing in Descript nearly useless to me.
Please consider this as part of your keyboard shortcuts and/or at least custom keyboard shortcuts.

Hotkeys for layouts
Niemacogdybac
Hi, please introduce Hotkeys for different camera angles/lay outs.
a feature which would allow me to assign Hotkeys - numbers for different camera angles/lay outs would be an enormous help in editing my podcast. I am editing long version podcast episodes like 2+ hours. I have different camera Angeles or lay outs from a squadcast recording. Automatic multicam never does good job assigning transitions or scenes the way I want it, I find it impossible to assign template in a way that I would like video to look so I have to every time watch full video manually and assign the lay out for each scene. It is annoying to click on a timeline and change manually lay out every single scene while you have 300/400+ in a video. Having Hotkeys assigned to the lay outs I attach to them, before editing the episode would be tremendous improvement in a workflow.
