A GNOME extension to enable screen rotation regardless of touch mode.

This extension uses Mutter's D-Bus API, so it works on both X11 and Wayland.

When rotated the SW_TABLET_MODE event is triggered and the keyboard gets "disabled" via evtest --grab . This approach is hacky, but it works... You may need to modify the keyboard event and allow the commands to be run without typing in a sudo password.

Original project was licensed under GPL V2. With the inactivity of the current maintainer kosmospredanie. This fork has been upgraded to GPL V3.
