Forums -> UltraMon™ -> hotkey to rotate a display?

Is there a way to define a hotkey to rotate a specific display? I am now doing it with a desktop shortcut to switch profiles. It works fine but I am looking for a faster way. I tried the "Quick launch toolbar" checkbox but it did not seem to create anything (not ideal either because the toolbar is crowded in portrait mode)

Thanks

Eric

ps: what a wonderful application that survive most upgrades and simply does well what it is meant for...kudos!!!

You could create a hotkey to apply a specific display profile, look for the 'Apply display profile' action under UltraMon Options > Hotkeys.

Regarding the shortcut to the profile on the Quick Launch toolbar: please check if the shortcut appears after restarting or logging in again. I did a quick test on Windows 8.1, the shortcut was created successfully but didn't become visible immediately for some reason.

Glad to hear you like UltraMon!

Christian,

Good tip for the hotkey. It is limited to 1 profile but at least it provides a quick way to return to "normal".

Q: Would it be feasible to have a hotkey to rotate the "current" display?

I enabled Quick Launch again and will see if it appears next time I log on. It doesn't appear right away and I am on Windows 7


Have a great day

I have uploaded a script which does this: ChangeScreenOrientation

You can run the script with a 'Run application or script' hotkey. Let me know if you have any questions about setting this up.

Christian,

The script works perfectly and does exactly what I need. This is perfect.

Thank you!
