Rotate view

The ideia is a simple rotation view function whithout changig perspective. Like "Shift 4/6" on numpad, but smootly. It could also work on camera view. Not just the view, but also turning the camera (A kind of viewer behind the camera, like if it is just a canvas, like "R" in Photoshop). And It could display the degrees.

* @fadil.fikrillah * I think this is a matter of rights. We can't make a gizmo similar to one from a paid software.

Yes. There's a patent (by Autodesk Inc) on the ViewCube (until 2029-03-06): patents.google.com/patent/US7782319

It would be better to add more controls such as angles at which you are going to rotate the view for more controls.

* @souvikbiswas980 * Yes. I didn't mention that first because it is a simple consequence. I think certainly this kind of details should be done if this rotate function is added. [ I just edited this in the proposal description now. Thanks]

* @souvikbiswas980 * Even both relative and absolute!

I think this would be a nice addition on the gizmo UI. However if you need to do this right now, you can do this with numpad keys 4 and 6 on the keyboard (I'm not sure if it works for laptops). PS. I would add a gif image to show how this works but I can't find a way to attach files here T-T

* @resa12354 * It's better than nothing, but calling it efficient is an overstatement.

* @resa12354 * 4 an 6 works here with shift before.Thanks! A gizmo for smooth rotation would be still cool.
