    1) Use the 2 split layout. This way you keep the sceneview and game view.

    2) Select the camera and use Align with view to place the game camera exactly like the scene view's camera

    In blender all I do is change my view around and then press shift+0 and the camera adjusts to that direct sight, could we get one of those kind of short cuts ???

    I understand there is a 'point at target' in the works for both lights and camera's. I look forward to that being implemented.

    A simple script which just rotates to look at a target point goes like this:
    Just add the script to the camera or light which should follow some transform.
    After adding the script, simply assign the target to be the target you want the camera or light to look towards.

    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. var target : Transform;
    3. function Update ()
    4. {
    5. † if (target)
    6. †{
    7. † † var direction = target.position - transform.position;
    8. † † transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation (direction);
    9. †}
    10. }
    11.
