Hey guys,

 

Several years ago I set myself up (env file) to use an extra keyboard
called x-keys.

 

One handy key I had was "rotate", mainly used to adjust silk screen
text.

Once you had hold of the text while in the move command, each hit of the
"rotate" key would rotate the text 90 degrees clockwise.

It was fast and easier on the mouse hand.

 

I would like to achieve this without the extra keyboard but can't figure
it out.

Does anyone know of any switches for the "rotate" keyboard command? Any
ideas?

 

Thanks for any help with this, it really does make adjusting silk text
much easier.

 

Regards,
