This is a good suggestion but doesn't address the initial question. It's
most likely that an Intel graphic adapter is being used and causing the
screen to be turned sideways when control-alt-arrows are used. So the
hot keys for the Intel graphic adapter need to be disabled. First though
a quick press of Control-Alt-Up should right the screen again for
sighted users to not have to give themselves neck pain while using the
computer. To disable the hot keys, go to the Intel graphic control icon
in the system notification area Windows-B and then arrowing to Intel,
pressing the context menu key and arrowing to options, then to hot keys
and then enter on disable. You can also disable them by pressing
Control-Alt-F12 and opening the Intel graphic control panel and tabbing
around 7 or 8 times to reach the hot keys disable check box. Press space
on it to toggle it and then press Enter on the ok button.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Believe it or not, there is an app which will make the use of the
control-alt-arrow keys no longer necessary. It is called "Toggle
Punctuation" and does that and more. I am lost without it. Here are the
keystrokes I use quite frequently, and have no issue with worrying about
which direction my screen might face:
alt-grave accent increases volume
alt-shift-grave accent decreases volume
control-grave accent changes speed
control-shift-grave accent reduces speed
Of course, this does not give availability to changing pitch or tone,
but they can be changed readily enough under the WE control panel screen
settings. I hope this is helpful.

We have seen this kind of msg on this list posted over the last few years
as a WE user uses their arrow keys which, if the wrong keystrokes are
made, also turns the screen sidways for a sighted user.
This problem was reminded to me by my sighted wife last night when I just
did this on a laptop which we share upon occasion.
This brings up an idea which has occurred to me in the past: has anyone
written (or thought of writing) a script/app which could be invoked to
immediately fix this situation for the benefit of the sighted user?
I (and probably more importantly, my sighted wife) would value such an
effort.
Thanks!
