Thanks Jean. I figured that much out, but then you still have to spin it
around with the mouse.
Roberto's post nailed it, that's what I had figured out several versions
ago, but couldn't reproduce it.

I didn't see any responses, so this will at least get you close....
Choose a key (I use function key F4) and either in the command line or
in the env file enter
Alias F4 rotate
Where "F4" is actually the F4 key, not the consecutive letters F 4.
This will put you in rotate mode and you can choose the rotation you
want. I'm not sure how to get it to do the single rotation of 90 degrees
as you mentioned.

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.
