Add a keyboard shortcut to rotate a token

In some cases, the bars on the token can obscure the handle for rotating the token's facing. A keyboard shortcut would help.

This already exists to some degree - 
With a Token selected:

  • Hold "E" and scroll the Mouse wheel for 5* increments
  • Hold "Alt" + "E" for 1*

Ah, thanks. Although I think a purely keyboard option would still be desirable.

Jukite's answer is good.

Also, since you're Kickstarter backer, you have Pro subscription with API Mods access. You can use the API Mod script called TokenMod to set up a Macro button that rotates a token. I have them set-up for Clockwise and Counterclockwise rotations. Some of my Players rotate with the handle and mouse, some rotate with the "E" and mouse-wheel, some of them use the Macro button from token-mod that i set up. It is still not a pure keyboard option tho (unless you make a simple Macro Name like #rotate and type that macro name into chat to trigger it)
