Do you need to determine a Center Point for those rotations or it doesn't matter?

CVH 2018-05-16

The main idea is to input standard values for the angle(a) in the Modify/Rotate dialog box by one simple click instead of typing.
As for your Q:
One makes a selection and chooses to rotate (RO) before the dialog appears.

+/- 45;90;135 & 180 I use the most.
Added the +/- 30;60;120;150 for the isometric guys.
We will never use the 0.

Whats about the Quick Modify tools F5/F6?

I think that the purpose of function RO is
for rotating
- a defined selection
- arround a WELL defined centerpoint
- with a given angle or a ref and target

My Feature request titel:
"Selecting standard rotation angles by mouse click for Modify / Rotate"

Annoying to switch from mouse to keypad and type 90,45,-90,180,-90,-45,90,-90,45,-90,180,-90,-45,90,-90180,-90,-45,90,-90
over and over again.

Sure I can hit F5 6 times for 90° or 12 times F6 for that.
And the middle of ... is arbitrary in my designs.
