"Lock Camera To View" Style Implementation For Lights , Placing Them Better

I really think you should be able to look through a light as if it were a camera and place it exactly where you want it to be aimed. I always feel like I compromise (with spotlights especially) when placing lights. I currently parent a light to a camera and "Lock Camera To View" to move it into place but there is some funny behaviour with the viewport jumping between cameras for myself at the moment.

Hey :). You can set the light as camera directly. View > Cameras > Set active object as Camera .

lsscpp

* @jachym.michal * Yep, select light and hit ctrl+numpad0. (Remember to switch back to your real camera thou...)
