    Where did keyboard shortcuts for rotating the display go?

    Hi,

    I used to be able to hit Ctrl+down arrow, etc. to rotate the display. In particular, I want to turn it upside down sometimes since I practice drawing, and like to do the whole "draw upside down" exercise from time to time using image search pages. Very helpful.

    Is there a way to do this via keyboard? I hate going into my AMD Catalyst Control Center every time I want to flip it, where I have to click it, then confirm it so it doesn't revert the settings 15 seconds later. Thanks in advance!

    cheers, guys,,

    Shift+F10 did it for me..
    mouse right-click on the desktop wouldn't function after the icons went hidden..

    - didn't realise you can also use Shift+F10 to get to the menu options
