I use the statement:

facility_placement_tool = FacilityPlacementTool(iface.mapCanvas(), vlayer_crs)
iface.mapCanvas().setMapTool(facility_placement_tool)

to set a custom tool on the map canvas. It allows me to move a feature layer 
around the map canvas using the translateFeature method of the layer using the 
canvasMoveEvent of FacilityPlacementTool until I click on the left mouse 
button.  Once the user clicks the left mouse, I detect that event and I run a 
method, rotateFeature, below that allows me to use the native QGIS rotate 
method.  I can then rotate the feature.  Expecting this to happen, it then 
seems that the rotate tool takes over the map canvas events from my 
FacilityPlacementTool  so when I right click to end the rotate on the feature 
that's all that happens. But I want the right click to end editing which have 
in the canvasPressEvent method in FacilityPlacementTool.   Is there a way after 
the code below runs and the user ends the rotate tool by right clicking that 
right click even can then be passed onto the FacilityPlacementTool tool or I 
can just run some other method that closes out the edit session.
  Also wondering why I have to get to the rotate feature tool with the code 
below, but there is a iface.actionMoveFeature().trigger() statement I can call 
to move a feature  Why isn't there a iface.actionRotateFeature().trigger() 
method.

def rotateFeature(self):
        # Get all actions
        actions = iface.mainWindow().findChildren(QAction)

        # Check the action
        action = [x for x in actions if 
x.objectName()=='mActionRotateFeature'][0]

        # Run the action
        action.trigger()
