Vsat is new in Qspice (not an option in LTspice), it is a new thing to handle current source as a load (i.e. not to source power)
Oh, ok. Well, why not have these as options in the menu âOrientationâ. This is what I mean by my earlier statement. The user interface needs improvement. (let me see if I have this straight: some orientation options will be available via the menu when you right-click on it. Others will be enabled via hot keys. Hmm. Odd.)
Well, just tried those hot key combinations and they do not work.
Ok, they only work during the âinitialâ placement, thereafter, they do not work.
By the way, the reason for the NMOS is so that I can use it as a switch (though now thinking, about it, I can simply use a voltage controlled switch) which will be the path to ground for a load resistor to be used as the load step.
fyi⌠I am not allowed to provide any further ânewâ replies until 21 hrs. Thank you for the help.
Mike intentionally removed things from the menu to force the use of keyboard shortcuts.
(but may be mirror is worth to add into orientation, as orientation is in right click menu)
This was mentioned in multiple Qspice tutorial videos and YouTube discussions by Mike.
Take some time and once you get familier with the interface, possibly you would hate going back to other simulation platform as the time used to create a schematic is slow compare to Qspice interface.
I donât know forum limit number of reply of new comer. 
I see that KSKelvin has answered your questions. I just want to say that imo QSpice is way less clunky than LTSpice. I enjoy using QSpice. I canât say the same about LTSpice. It was always a chore.
I can understand that you would find it frustrating if you havenât done some tutorials and read some instructions. I think you will quickly find the keyboard driven emphasis in QSpice is way faster and more intuitive than LTSpice.
Good luck, and I hope you stick with it. I would love for it to overtake LTSpice as the âgo toâ simulator. It is really good, and powerful, and fast. And KSKelvin is a great resource - thank you KSKelvin!

Yes, I am looking forward to it. Right now going through the growing pains of adopting a new tool which can be a bit of a chore at first. 
However, I think that my observations and concerns regarding the rotation/flipping of components are legitimate. I am using Windows 11 btw. When I am in the act of placing a component onto the schematic, the placement commands do work (i.e., CTRL+R, etc.) - that is, when the cross-hairs are still on the component. However, once the component has been placed, and I go back to re-orient it, the keyboard commands no longer work. With regards to the right-click commands, if you apply, say +90, will inhibit you from reapplying the same command twice? Why? You should be free to reapply a particular command as many times as youâd like.
Update:
I stand halfway corrected. Apparently for the keyboard hot keys (i.e., CTRL+R, CTRL+F) to work, you also have to simultaneously hold the left-button on the mouse. A bit odd. Generally you just click on the device once to highlight it.
Useful operations (1 = single device | 2 = multiple devices):
Orientation: Move, Rotate (Ctrl+R), Mirror (Ctrl+M)
- Left-Click and Hold + shortcut (rotates/mirrors around the crosshair pivot).
- Hold Shift > drag a selection box > Release > Shortcut.
Do Not Stuff (;) / Stuff with Jumper (Ctrl+J):
- Hover over a device + Shortcut.
- Hold Shift > drag a selection box > Release > Do Not Stuff shortcut.

Nice little tricks. Especially the jumper.
