Hi All,

Is there a command in Jaws or NVDA for reporting screen orientation?

I sometimes inadvertently rotate my screen. I'm obviously hitting a 
keyboard shortcut that does this, but I haven't figured out what it is. 
Anyway, the screen stays rotated until I need to work with a sighted 
person, who points it out to me. I know how to go into the control 
panel>screen resolution to get back to landscape, but I'd like to be 
able to check screen orientation on my own.

Ideally, I'd like the screen reader to announce that the screen is 
rotating to portrait, landscape, etc., as it's happening, but I'd settle 
for a command that tells me the current orientation.

Is there such a critter?

Thanks.

Ciao
