Just tried, and works well!
Excellent!

One minor problem is that when using the mouse wheel for rotation, it skips over 45 degrees. I recommend the default increment to 15 degree angles rather than 2 degree increments for the following reasons:
- It corresponds to the default snap-to angles of holding the alt
key while drawing lines etc, so the problem mentioned earlier about the tools "not rotating" with the canvas is masked (will still work as expected/wanted by the user at 15 degree angles) 2. Covers all the most useful angles for constructing things. 3. Keeps the user from having to flick the mouse wheel more than a few times to get the desired angle. 5. Can be overridden easily in a variety of ways for the edge cases that need a slight rotation.
Just set the default value to 15 degrees and added a preference for step size in the Inkscape Preferences dialog (Behavior->Steps).
(Step size for +/- buttons in spin widget is still 1 degree with left mouse button but 15 degrees with middle mouse button.)
Great work Tav!
Thanks... and thank Jabier too who got this all started.
Would you like me to do a video for the feature that you can post? I'd be glad to help. :)
Sure!
