Idea: quick tap of R just does 90. Long press R and it pops open a tiny dialog with focus to enter a rotation number and then you can hit enter and it just sets the rotation angle directly on the footprint properties.
Ctrl+M will already do this (x, y = 0, theta = 45), and, moreover the last transform is retained, so the second time, it's is just "Ctrl+M, enter".
Setting rotation directly on the item will be possible with the Object Inspector.
However I don't know if KiCad's hotkey system can tolerate timing based shortcuts.
Not as far as I know. It would be pretty steep in terms of discoverability, I think, and long pressing gets frustrating quickly (I find on my phone).
Better IMO, if we're really short on hotkey real estate, would be "modal" or "chained" hotkeys, so Ctrl+R,H for half rotate.
