Krita shortcuts were not chosen by someone who draw.

Why do you need 2 hands to rotate the view, one of my hand have the pen in it ?!?

Huh? 4 and 6 rotate left/right, and 5 rotates to the central position. If you have a keypad it's even more accessible.
It's tough to judge because I'm not familiar with the shortcuts anymore but around the time that CSP swapped to the subscription model (or however it works) Krita devs started implementing a CSP mode that changes the default shortcuts to try and match.

I don't know how close it actually is though.

Ah, I tried it a years or two ago.
From the release notes:

- Krita now have a Clip Studio Paint compatible shortcut scheme

Wait, is that only now? I'm kind of confused, maybe I've been on a beta branch or something, I could of sworn that was part of 5.1?

You're right, I'm looking at the release notes now. But it's a very weird deja vu moment. There are a couple of features listed here that I really thought were already released. I need to check what my upstream is...

"Could of?"
Should of, would of, could of.
As tempting as it would admittedly be to get into an extended argument with someone online over prescriptivism and descriptivism in English grammar, it has nothing to do with Krita, so it's imo better not to engage with these kinds of really off-topic comments. Not that I'm always good at resisting the urge myself ;)
Or maybe it's good to inform people that they're not using legitimate English, so they can learn.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I sure hope you're mocking those.
Might of, may of, will of, can't of, must of, ought to of... There's no end to the horror.
I don't know if it helps your issue, but this latest update does include a set of Clip Studio Paint compatible key bindings.
I press Ctrl-Shift (or was it Ctrl-Alt?) with the left hand and rotate with the pen. Sorry muscle memory only.
I think it's just Shift.
Shift is the tip size adjustment
