Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones
Describe the bug
Darktable 5.4 introduces nice new shortcuts alt-[ and alt-] for fine rotation adjustment. However, they unexpectedly rotate in the opposite direction from the existing [ and ] shortcuts.
Let's make them consistent by default with the existing shortcuts: alt-[ should rotate 0.1º counterclockwise and alt-] should rotate 0.1º clockwise.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a photo in darkroom view.
- Click
alt-[oralt-]on the keyboard.
Expected behavior
Darktable should rotate 0.1º counterclockwise for alt-[ and clockwise for alt-] to be consistent with [ and ].

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce the shortcut behavior in darkroom view, then locate the existing [ and ] rotation shortcut handling alongside the alt-[ and alt-] mappings; done means the alt shortcuts rotate 0.1° in the same respective directions as the existing shortcuts.
