Description

**Current Issue**
Our current plugin doesn't support mirror or rotated tiles. The problem is the shortcut key for mirroring a tile is so near it can happen by total accident. This became a huge problem on some big maps we have and trying to find all duplicated tiles on different sections of a map is a nightmare.

**What behavior you expected instead**
Is there a way to be able to select a single tile and it selects all duplicate tiles in a layer?
Alternatively, is there a way to figure out if a tile is rotated?

**Tiled version, operating system, etc. if possibly relevant.**

Research direction

Start by reproducing the accidental mirroring problem in the editor, focusing on the shortcut key and selecting tiles within a layer. Clarify whether the intended result is selecting all duplicate tiles or identifying rotated and flipped tiles; the issue is done only when one of these behaviors is specified and implemented.
