Tile grid rotation

[Charlie Aradia Magne Morningstar]

I'm not sure if its an already planned feature for the new tile grid layers that are coming but if you can also rotate or mirror the tiles when working on them, it would be perfect.

I think it was said to be a planned feature few times, but I wonder if it will be actually implemented? It's been a while.

Looks like this feature is being rolled out in the recent releases on beta branch (around 1.3rc-9).

When a tile map layer is active, go to Layer > Properties. Click on the three squares icon to the right of the layer blend mode combo box. This will open a Tileset properties dialog. Make sure all three Allowed Flips -- X, Y and D -- are active. The "D" stands for a diagonal flip.

You will also see the Tileset properties dialog when converting from a normal layer to a tile map layer.

In the tile set palette, beneath the palette swatches, select a tile. The default keyboard shortcuts for the flips are Space+X, Space+Y, Space+D. Keep an eye on the tile preview in the bottom left corner, beneath the tile set palette, while trying those shortcuts. Rotate 90 degrees counter-clockwise is X and D; rotate 180 degrees is X and Y; rotate 270 degrees ccw is Y and D.

To display the flip info on the tile map, go to View > Show. Activate Layer Edges and Tile Numbers.

I don't know yet how to change a flip for a tile that's already been placed in a tile map on the sprite canvas.
