I don't know how I got it.
I was with the free select tool selected and tracing a selection, using keys like ctrl, shift or alt, or a combination of them, I'm not sure what I did.
Then suddenly my canvas shifted a few degrees as shown in the image below.
I tried to understand what I had done, and I tried to recreate it, but to no avail.
In short, how could I have done this?
This is the new canvas rotation feature in 2.10 (mostly useful with a tablet). See
View ➤ Flip & Rotate.
- Rotation is done with Shift-middle button
- Zoom is done with Ctrl-middle button
- To reset use !

Ofnuts,
I thought that this option via the menu would be to rotate parts like
layer, selection, path or image, but I had no idea that it was about rotating the canvas!

Of these 03 options, I don't get any results with
Shift-middle button. (actually it looks like this centers the canvas horizontally)
Now, with the option via the
View ➤ Flip & Rotate menu I can reproduce the effect I carelessly produced.
But the mystery remains.
I didn't use any menus when I accidentally rotated the canvas.
As far as I'm aware (it was 2:30am and I was sleepy) I was just using the Free Select Tool combined with keys to keep the selections straight.
Maybe I accidentally pressed a key...
Every day is the day to learn something new with Gimp!
Thank you!
Ofnuts, thank you!
