Control block placement orientation with [key] + [mouse movement]

The 6 keyboard keys for rotating a block are useful for intricate patterns, but it feels excessive to need to take my hand off the mouse every time I want to slightly adjust the default block orientation of a block. Also, the placement of the rotation keys may be unintuitively located on a laptop keyboard, or may not even exist at all.

Back when I used to play with a controller I remember using the "Block Placement Mode" (or something like that) to rotate the block orientation with the right analog stick.

Perhaps something similar could be done with the mouse, where you hold down a key to lock the players view while moving the mouse now rotates the block you are trying to place. This could be helpful for quickly rotating slightly-off block orientations, making large building projects just a bit easier.
