sideways display

[Guest]

i was cleaning the keyboard with my hand because it was dusty and the
computer was on at the time so i was pressing many different buttons at the
same time and now my screen is being displayed sideways.

Do you have some form of software that allows you to use the
monitor pivoted thro' 90 degrees? It is entirely conceivable
that it might have a keyboard shortcut. I have such a monitor
and software but only an icon on the task bar to rotate the
output...Phew! I suppose I could think of a scenario where I
might hit the rotate icon accidentally but have never done so.

lol, that's cute! That's also why you should turn the computer
off when you clean the keyboard.

By heck! There is such a hot key with my software: CNTL-Shift-R
but I've never knowingly used it!

One further addition that I forgot: it's a toggle!
