In Darktable, I want to rotate photos while working in lighttable mode so I can quickly preselect and review images without interrupting my workflow. The default bracket shortcuts appear to rotate images only in darkroom mode, and changing them doesn’t seem to work in lighttable. Is there a way to assign working keyboard shortcuts for rotating selected image(s) in lighttable mode?

The bracket shortcuts you're describing only work in darkroom mode. If you want to use them in lighttable mode, you can set them in the shortcuts tab of preferences under "modules>selected image[s]". These operations don't have keyboard shortcuts by default, for some reason...

Yes. In Darktable, the bracket rotation shortcuts apply to darkroom mode, not lighttable mode.
To rotate images in lighttable, assign shortcuts manually in Preferences under the shortcuts tab, then look for:
modules > selected image[s]
There you can set keyboard shortcuts for rotating the selected image(s). These actions do not appear to have default keyboard shortcuts in lighttable, which is why changing the darkroom rotation shortcuts doesn’t solve it.
So this is likely a shortcut-scope issue rather than a bug.
