So I understand I can do these rotations if I have a trackpad. But I don't. How can I rotate things in Preview just using the keyboard??

The only way that I can see to do it on my MBP is to first rotate the image/file in Preview using Cmd + L/R, then insert a text box, type out your text and then rotate the image/file back.

That's pretty unclassy. Also Cmd+L/R, as far as I can tell, only works in 90 degree increments. SURELY if you can do it with a trackpad, there has to be some way to do it with the keyboard.

BTW, if you have a MBP, you have a trackpad, in which case continuous rotation of selected annotations in Preview (using two fingers) is trivial.
