Near the bottom in the Keybindings menu. Social - General has chat window toggle (F12 default)
Third option down in the Keybindings menu. Vehicles - View has multiple zoom in and out options there, along with freelook/cycle cameras/orbit mode which may be what you want for rotation? (they are not mapped in a default config)
Sadly, no I do not have experience with that. I know that there are a couple of folks that might in guild, but I am absolutely terrible with names (so I can’t recall them all). @Hyndrosa1 might know or @Quelsar might as well. I do not know how often they frequent the forums here.
Have you tried a youtube guide? I hear Hasgaha (a name that I recognized while looking through youtube) has done some good work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQgY6yX6-k0 24:33 in looks like the vehicle camera stuff that you want?
Use the numpad for save and restore of camera angles
F4+ numbers 1-9 on keypad stores (long press of number) and loads (short press) your view settings
If you want some more features, have a look on the „game touch controller“, it’s like game glass, but much cheaper and without the talking home stuff in it. In GTC you can have a smooth orbiting cam around your ship etc
