As I described in the title: how do I rotate a text box or a shape at a specific angle in Preview for macOS, using Magic Mouse 2 or any mouse?
I know there is a workaround to rotate it at 90 or 180 degrees (by rotating the entire image/PDF first), but I want to rotate it at a specific angle, let's say 45. How do I do that? I enabled every gesture control in Magic Mouse settings and I tried a lot of key combinations, nothing works. Moving the corners of the shape doesn't help, only resizes it.
I know this is possible using the trackpad, but, as expected, there are no trackpads on iMac.

Me too Me too Me too Me too ReplyTrackpad change with recent update A feature I used to use CONSTANTLY with my trackpad on MacBook Pro: I would select text with pointer finger (First Finger), and use second finger to adjust the selection range. And THEN, if the text I needed to select went past the current window in either the document or the web page, I would use my second and third finger together to scroll further down in the window, highlighting text the whole way. It worked great! Since the update (Big Sur, I believe), when I add the third finger to try to scroll the window, it launches Mission Control instead of scrolling the window! Based on another question here, I disabled the Mission Control gesture in track pad settings. My three-finger text highlighting no longer launches Mission Control. Yay! However, it still does not do its former function, which was to make it easier to select text that went beyond the current window. Any help?
I'm Left-handed and I'd like a Left-handed Cursor DOES this exist on Mac OS X Ventura? Currently, the cursor is catered toward righties, so I was wondering if there were any workarounds without installing anything shady?!
How can I set the scroll direction for mouse and trackpad independently of each other? I want my Macbook's trackpad to scroll inversely from my fingers' movement (what MacOS calls "natural") but also have my mouse wheel to scroll in the same direction as my fingers' scrolling direction. At the moment I can only make it work for one of them, because this setting seems to be shared across both devices, so it's always a hassle no matter what I choose. Am I missing something?
