New Rotate View Tool
Windows 10
Illustrator Version 25.3.1 (64 bit)
Using mouse and keyboard, no wacom tablet
When using the new Rotate View Tool, all alignment buttons and arrow keys also get flipped... Meaning if you rotate view, your alignment center top and bottom with actually center left and right. Also nudging with the arrow keys will move it up or down instead of left/right.

Mike, I asked this even before it got shipped.
Unfortunately, Ai team decided to ignore / postpone implementing that.
Here is the request you can upvote: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/44001624-match-arrow-keys-to-view-rotationAlso, as you already know, Astute Graphics offers a nifty workaround for this with its DirectPrefs panel, which allows to sync the Constrain Angle value to the current view rotation angle. Arrows and selection marquee will still work unaffected, but this if better than nothing.

was this ever fixed, been searching for a way to figure out how to rotate a dieline in illustrator without messing up the ability to use my arrow keys??? and reversing their direction.
