Yes — rotation behavior depends on the selected mode:

  • Speed modes: rotate adjusts speed progressively
  • Navigation modes: rotate cycles next/previous
  • Camera modes: rotate cycles next/previous car; push executes the selected action
  • Transport modes: rotate steps forward/backward by one frame
