    Currently when building, one must first select a block rotation axis and then rotate it around that axis.

    Could we please get a way to keybind the 6 individual rotation axes like in Space Engineers?

    Rotate counter/clockwise ( default to numpad 7,9)
    Rotate left/right (default to numpad 4, 6)
    Rotate up/down (default to numpad 8, 5 or 8, 2)

    I think this would be easier to use.

    I could be wrong but with the new patch 1.1 I did see this. Is this related to what you are referring to?

    2020-08-13 Patch v1.1 (Build 3065)

    Changes:
    - Build settings window: added shortcuts Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-R, Ctrl-D, Ctrl-F, Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-Shift-Z when the N popup is open (blocking nearly all other shortcuts when the N menu is open)
    - Build settings window: added shortcuts for rotating a block (scroll wheel) and toggling through axes (right mouse button)
    - Build settings window: middle mouse button will toggle through selection mode (move, scale, rotate)

    That's still this.
    There's no easy way to rotate a block around a specific axis with one keybind. It's still unnecessarily convoluted.

    I see what you mean, less over all keystrokes. like there should be a button we hit (even the N key) that will assign those numbers keys to that. I guess even reassigning keys in the settings won't help here either.. :(
