Thanks for the reply Ed.
But... the whole point of having a single keystroke rotate the text or
part is, at least for me, to give my mouse hand a break.
Especially while adjusting silk screen text, lots of rotating is
involved, and the mouse hand get overworked.
Thanks again.

Here's a method to rotate text that does not involve function/alias key
setup or RMB menu picks.
1. Set your application mode to "placement edit" (setup -
application mode)
Or make a RMB pick in black space then access App mode menu
2. Depress SHIFT key - Hover over text - Depress LMB and move
mouse to rotate.
** consider setting super filter to "text" to limit any selections you
make in the workspace to text.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] rotating text while moving it
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.
