[Jack Harry Teesdale]

Help my laptop screen is upside down. What can i do. I'm using Windows

10 as far as i know it doesn't have automatic orientaion.

[Andy Burns]

ctrl+alt+arrow (e.g. ctrl+alt+up)

[Jack Harry Teesdale]

Thanks Andy that worked a treat.

[Tim Streater]

i.e. not e.g.

There ought to be a foundation set up with the aim of correcting grammar and spelling on Usenet. I even have a catchy name for it: The Sisyphus Foundation.

[Pancho]

No e.g. (i.e. it could be something else like ctrl+alt+right)

[Andrew]

Does that enable Trump ?.

[Jack Harry Teesdale]

No need to be pedantic, i knew what he meant.

[newshound]

Never knew about that. Could be a really sneaky way to irritate someone you don't like :-)

[michael adams]

e.g. is perfectly correct,.because other combinations are possible.

For instance everybody other than the OP, on reading Andy Burn's tip might well try pressing ctrl+alt+down to see if that turns their screens upside down

People get these two wrong because they've not bothered to understand what each means:

i.e. short for "id est" or "that is" as we say in English. e.g. short for "exempli gratia" or "for example".

As usual Winky is your friend:

and that's only for such phrases starting with 'e'.

Your Sisyphus Foundation is a good idea. We can sign T r o l l up to it, founder member.

There's a tick box for it.

All the wiring is in Windows for two functions of that type.

That's actually the main purpose of that hot key.

Is that a STD?

[Andy Burns]

I wasn't going to comment on your prissyness, but as you've repeated your error, I certainly meant e.g. not i.e.

The possible combinations are ctrl-alt-up, ctrl-alt-down, ctrl-alt-left and ctrl-alt-right, I meant that Jack could pick a combination to change the orientation but, for example, he should start with the one I considered most likely to correct it.

Now go crawl back under your rock for a couple of days ...

Personally, I'm a dedicated adherent of the school of not-using-full-stops-in-abreviations-if-they-are-not-really-needed-and-wh ere-leaving-them-out-will-not-cause-misinterpretation-or-confusion (and, of course, also of the Institution For The Promotion Of Hyphens).

[Brian Gaff (Sofa]

No but its very easy to change it from hitting the wrong keys. Since \I cannot see it was only when a sighted person told me, I knew it had been altered. Don't recall the combination now, but stand on your head and look in the control panel. Brian

[Brian Gaff (Sofa]

That's the one and since I'm always using control sequences it happens annoyingly often..

Was he tasked with rolling stones uphill and they keep rolling down ? Much like the suspiciously similar in theme Jan Treagle of Cornwall ?
