 Replying to [comment:6 timlinux]:

 symbol rotation tool to rotate the selected point to your specified angle.
 Currently this does not work with the new selection tools.

 I think you must be using the v2 renderer, because it works for me. Note
 you don't even need to use the selection tools to use this maptool.

 hmm, weird in my compiled version using the patch under
 win32/VC2008/QT4.5.2 it shows up in the map tools panel. See attached
 image. I did notice a little text case bug in the default value for the
 new option. I have now uploaded a new version.

 > Also please note the issue with Alt clicking and dragging remains - alt
 is not a usable modifier key for mouse click & drag actions on unix since
 in most window managers it moves the entire window.

 Note sure what to do here as there are no more modifier keys left as the
 Shift and Ctrl keys are already in use. We could start allowing any
 keyboard shortcut, but that could get messy with the user definable short-
 cut actions already in place. Any ideas?

 Cheers
 Jeremy
