It's not a default on the Intuos 4 and there isn't a hot key to map it.

He didn't say anything about a hot key.

For example, I use an elongated brush and I want to specifically rotate it 10 degrees without going into the Brush Panel. Turning the brush tip does not achieve this. Kind of like how the hokey works for brush size- I hold down a key, and drag to change the brush size- then paint. Its a fluid workflow. Rotation should work the same way.

There are the hotkeys SHIFT+OPTION+> and < but the speed/increment is too tiny.
At a minimum I'd love to see a preference to control the increment so that I can map the key stroke to my tablet's touch strip/ring to quickly rotate interactively.

the general brush settings need a huge overhaul and loads more customization and hotkeyability. general brush management and brush preset modification is prehistoric and terrible but theres other threads for that.
the art pen is very clumsy and the tip of the pen body is too thick even if you strip all the rubber and grind off most of the front plastic, still cant fully utilize tilt then, and the nib has alot of play to it that i didnt mange to diy stabilize compared to grip/pro pen, especially if using the regular nibs and not the proper art pen ones, which are clumsy for precision drawing, impossible to do precision stuff for me and make it feel like a pencil no matter what i do to it, there is also huge data problems with it, either lag or slow update rate which makes quick faded out stroke ends not register compared to the pro/grip pen (on cintiq 13hd and intuos4 at least, the tech suport confirmed it for me, too much data apparently because of the added rotation), also if you make a huge thin brush (whole screen size) and observe how it behaves if you just hold the pen without rotating, just move very slightly, it will rotate quite abit on its own, its very unprecise (i tried few of them, all the same). so i found it impossible to do precision drawing with it, especially when caffeinated (as someone already mentioned here), its very triggering and no matter how much i was looking forward to getting one, once i got it i actualy never used it because of all that
the hotkey system needs an overhaul, allow us to control rotation, then we'll find a way to bind it to a midi controller rotary knob or something, allow us to create per brush hotkeys without having to create actions to select brushes, stuff like that, workflow speed and brush+hotkey customizability. take a deep look at manga studio and take notes about brush customizability and potential workflow speed cap. and then add your sick tech on top of that and ill never need to open manga studio again

There is also this other topic: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/rotate_brush_tip_on_the_fly?topic-reply-list[... I'm wary to merge it, as the feedback of this thread would be lost. I hope that all voters here also voiced their concerns in that thread.

i would use rotate key even more than size change. I am always using the size hotkeys when I really only need to rotate..... because I'd rather use a different part of a huge curved brush to get a different angle than have to deal with the horrid procedure for rotating the brush. Only works sometimes though. Not a real solution. keep us posted

Most importantly to me, when I'm rotating a healing brush, I'm usually doing some precision repair work, and will most likely switch to the mouse to keep my overly caffeinated hand shake out of the equation.
