I clicked on the video because doing just this wasn't working, but once I clicked on it & came back, without even playing the video yet, it worked. Pure magic. Thank you wizard man.

Hi there, great tutorials, can you pls show how to create a KB shortcut for this command? New to blender and too lazy to do my own research. 😅

Been a while since you asked, I took the time to check and found that you can use Numberpad 0 to go to the camera view and you can press Ctrl Alt Numberpad 0 to move the camera to the current view angle. but it does not lock and unlock the view like clicking the checkbox. I imagine this is in case someone uses the shortcut by accident and didn't know how to turn it off. you can find this shortcut in Edit > preferences and then search for Camera in Keymap.
