Rotating clone stamp selection with Keyboard Shortcut?

[Luke_Light]

Hello there,

is this possible?

I know There is a panel where I can change the rotation, but I love shortcuts.

In another reddit post I read this:

Use opt-shift-< and opt-shift-> to rotate. It works slowly.

Unfortunately this one does not work on my Win 11 machine. Also when I want to use >, I need to click shift anyway..... you know what I mean....

Do you guys have an idea?

I just went crazy with my Keyboard and found a Way to rotate at least in one direction:

ATL + SHIFT + "+" ->> this increases the rotation slowly

Do you have any idea on how to rotate it in the other direction?

Do you think there is a way to increase the rotation speed? Or even use the mouse movement to rotate? Maybe you can also use autohotkey to improve or create these functions?

happy afternnoon everyone

It certainly doesn't show on the shortcuts panel, and doesn't work for me either.

But if this works:

ATL + SHIFT + "+" ->> this increases the rotation slowly

Then there is a hidden area for shortcuts. Adobe only needs to reveal them. Maybe there are Plugins that can help?

I am not a Windows user so I don’t know which options you have, on Mac it should be possible to wrap an AppleScript that simulates the keystrokes for the operation in a jsx and assign that a shortcut. 

It might be possible to rotate the Clone Source via Script outright, but I am not sure.

with autohotkey you could create a script like this!

but to speed up the ´twist it will get tricky...  maybe you can speed up with changing the system time of th eoperating system 😄

Using shortcuts is generally recommendable. 

But there are a bunch of shortcuts the Photoshop team has apparently not deemed fit to be customized. 

Which can be especially problematic for people working with non-english keyboards but using Photoshop in english.

I second this. Additionally, these shortcuts (⌥⇧</> and ⌥⇧[/]) are very uncomfortable to use. There should definitely be a way to remap them on demand!
