Help-Laptop screen upside down

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

Thanks Andy that worked a treat.

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.

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

Does that enable Trump ?.

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

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

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.

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

Joke-alt-delete.

Is that a STD?

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 ...

"In Greek mythology Sisyphus or Sisyphos was the king of Ephyra (now known as Corinth). He was punished for his self-aggrandizing craftiness "

Um

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).

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

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 ?
