Extrude and Alt S

[Brad Wheeler]

I found the only way to extrude the faces is by hit E then ESC then Alt S and can extrude along the normals without problem

[Omar Domenech]

Yes, you can also extrude along the normals while in edit mode with Alt + E

[Adrian Bellworthy]

Correct! When two or more faces are selected that are facing in different directions.

However,

When one face is selected, E will extrude in the normal direction (local Z axis).

When two or more faces are selected E will extrude in the median direction of the Normals of all the selected faces.

Unless, when selecting the four faces of a cube in a loop for example, i.e. Top, Bottom, Left and Right or Left, Right, Front and Back, then the extrude will happen in the Global Z axis.

But you can also select the axis by pressing X,Y or Z.
