SUMMARY
Currently there are 2 canvas rotation modes (Rotate Mode & Discrete Rotate
Mode) which can be triggered by a modifier key + pen drag.

However the direction and amount of rotation is dependent on the position of
the mouse cursor in relation to the center of the screen. If the cursor is
above the center and drags left, the canvas rotates counterclockwise, if it is
below and drags left, the canvas rotates clockwise. This sounds good in theory
but in practice this behavior is rather unpredictable and erratic, making it
hard to rotate the canvas to where you want it, especially if the cursor is
close to the middle of the screen.

What I would suggest is a simplified "Linear" Canvas Rotate mode (and Discrete
variant), where dragging left rotates counterclockwise, and dragging right
rotates clockwise, independently of the distance or position of the cursor in
relation to the middle of the screen (similar to how the Zoom Mode works).

Thank you very much!
