Is it possible to rotate 90 degrees normal to the screen with a single click?

As I transition from Fusion 360 to OnShape, I find a control for viewing that could be advantageous for OnShape users and maybe it exists but I haven't found it.

In 360, a single click on a View Cube arrow will rotate the view normal to the screen 90 degrees. Using OnShape, I find that I need to click 6 times to accomplish the same rotation. Does anyone know of a preference I can change or other control that will accomplish a 90 degree rotation with a single click?

Here is a short video to show what I am talking about. https://youtu.be/kVgEoLjPMAQ

    Not exactly, but these shortcuts are super useful:

    There is no option for that but you can use the "n" key shortcut to get there quickly: rotate the view roughly where you want it and "mouse over" the plane you want to be normal to and hit "n". It will snap to the "closest" aligned orientation:

    Follow Eric's suggestion and then "n" again will flip it 180
