I find it kind of cumbersome to edit an object that has been rotated. I know I can set the navigation to „local“ to make things easier, but then I still cannot use numpad 1, 3, 7, etc. to easily jump between the views. Is there a way to use these shortcuts on a rotated object or is there an alternative?

In the default keymap it’s Shift + Numpad.
To align a view to an object’s local axis without Shift, tick the 'Align Active' option in Preferences → Keymap → 3D View → View Axis

2$\begingroup$ oops.. I just saw it´s included in the default keymap (2.9.5) with Shift + Numpad. Answer edited. $\endgroup$– relaxedCommented Jan 1, 2022 at 10:43

$\begingroup$ Shift + numpad doesn't seem to work in Edit mode though, from what I undertand he's asking for Edit mode $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 1, 2022 at 13:54

$\begingroup$ Here it also works in edit mode (Windows 10, 2.93.5). The alignment is done to the active geomtry. $\endgroup$– relaxedCommented Jan 1, 2022 at 14:30

$\begingroup$ @relaxed, oh you're right it works if you select a face in Face Select mode $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 2, 2022 at 9:56
