in 2.8 it looks like my cursor orientation is set according to view. How do I change that to face/normal. When I click on an object I would like it to orient according to the normal of the surface.

- Activate the 3D Cursor (Toolbar
t). - Open the Sidebar (
n) and, on the Tool tab, change the Orientation to Geometry. - Click on the surface of the object to update the orientation of the 3D Cursor.
If the 3D Cursor is not "sticking" to the surface, enable Cursor Surface Project in Preferences (ctrl alt u) > Editing > 3D Cursor.

I don't think there currently is a global setting or quick toggle for 3D cursor orientation, as such it is configured on a per-hotkey basis.
If you need the two orientation modes frequently you can probably set different hotkeys for each.
Go to Edit > User Preferences > Keymap search for "Cursor" and edit the entry under the 3D view for Set 3D Cursor.
Expand the entry and under orientation pick one of the options (None, View, Transform, Geometry) that best suits your needs, in this case Geometry
