on every lid close / lid open cycle. Sugar has this hardcoded to screen rotate, probably correct on the XO.

a patch for this problem Bernie and I came up with..

comment:2 follow-up: Changed 15 years ago by tomeu

What do you think about moving the rotation key handling to an extension? That way we can keep the hacks out from the shell, which is way safer (because failures in extensions are not propagated to the main loop) and is also nicer from a code organization point of view.

Btw, please see http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/CodeReview

Sounds like a good idea, but I lack the expertise to design this solution properly. Are you thinking about an XO specific extension to handle all these little things?

Btw, please see http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/CodeReview

Thanks

Don't be so lazy! This is really easy and fun stuff. As an example, this extension will take a screenshot when the user presses the Print key:

Yeah, one for all the special keys on the XO.

Btw, if you don't put r? in the keywords field, the ticket won't be in the review queue and can get lost for several months.

Probably obsolete. Screen rotation is not managed by Sugar now.

Reopen with more information if needed.
