Is there a keyboard command to rotate?

I am happy to say I just subscribed at the basic level to get dynamic lighting. LOVING it, and am planning on running a dungeon later tonight with it. Here's my question.

The players can use the arrow keys you move their token left, right, up, and down. But I am also going to try to have them play with forced line of sight, with a ~140 angle field of view to make it "realistic." This means that the players being able to rotate their character will be very important, which I know they can do with the mouse, but are there any keyboard shortcuts or commands to rotate the highlighted token clockwise/counterclockwise?

Cheers!

Absolutely!

Hm. Thanks a lot, some helpful info in there that I will definitely use. (like shift z and shift ping!)

Suggestion for the devs though, there should be a purely keyboard, not mouse, shortcut for rotating. Like CTRL+left or CTRL+right, this wouldn't help the GMs much but as a player it would make it much easier to navigate a map purely with keyboard.
