mobium rotate
This tool on every surface: CLI · MCP · Python · JavaScript · Go · Java · .NET
Turn two fingers about an element or the screen
Puts two fingers on the screen and turns them, 90 degrees clockwise by default. A negative angle turns the other way.
It reports that the gesture was delivered and nothing more, and this is harder to confirm than a zoom: nothing in either accessibility hierarchy reports a rotation, and there is no WebView property to ask either — a page has to compute the angle from raw touch events itself.
The fingers are stepped around the arc rather than moved straight to the end. A straight move is a chord, which brings the fingers closer to the center on the way past, and the platform reads that as a pinch.
Usage
