While rotating you can use
shiftmodifier for 15º snapping orctrl/cmdfor 1º snapping.It's indeed compatible with numerical input (it doesn't block it), rotating with
Rand gizmo.Note that it is a stepped rotation by 15 or 1 degrees starting with the original rotation value the object had, it is not a snapping rotation where the rotation snaps to "previously fixed canvas rotations" (0º, 15º, 30º, ...). BTW, it's the way Inkscape and other software does it.
Further implementation would be using variables instead, so the rotation steps are configurable via Preferences and make the modifier also configurable (this is more related with shortcuts configuration...), but I don't know if that part should wait for v1.1 as it needs to change that panel... let me know what do you think and we find the right place.
I'm going to investigate if this feature can be as easily be implemented for node tangents too...
