My Dell two in one laptop can be opened beyond 180 degrees to make an easel. However thi inverts the monitor. This is my prefered way of working with it at my desk at work where I have an external monitor mouse and keyboard.

When I boot into windows I can rotate the screens with Ctrl+Alt+Arrow Key. On Ubuntu it seems I have command line tools, and the System Panel shown below.

Since I often swap between a normal laptop and easel configuration, I'd prefer a keyboard shortcut to rotate the monitors if possible.

you say you have CLI tools... if you know the command to do it you can make a shortcut easily... have you investigated the CLI tools? – Zanna Jun 22 '16 at 11:17
Please mention if you (don't) manage. – Jacob Vlijm Jun 22 '16 at 11:40
@Zanna that's a great idea if there is no built in one. I could probably send a patch too. – Justin Dearing Jun 22 '16 at 11:50
