Rotated Tablet Mode script for X1 Yoga (2nd Gen), Good for reading and marking PDFs

rotate.sh

#!/bin/sh

# screen and input device rotation for e.g. a Thinkpad X1 Yoga
# adopted from by the script from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=996830&p=6274392#post6274392
# 
# Usage:
# ./rotate.sh
# will rotate both the screen and input device either to right or normal setting depending on previous state. Additionally:
# * in "right" layout, a on screen keyboard (onboard) is started or stopped in normal mode
# * the touchpad is switched off in "right" mode
#
# I've bound this script to a shortcut key for easily flipping back and forth settings

stylus=`xsetwacom --list devices | grep " stylus" | cut -f 1`
eraser=`xsetwacom --list devices | grep " eraser" | cut -f 1`
touch=`xsetwacom --list devices | grep " touch" | cut -f 1`

# Find the line in "xrandr -q --verbose" output that contains current screen orientation and "strip" out current orientation.

rotation="$(xrandr -q --verbose | grep 'connected' | egrep -o  '\) (normal|left|inverted|right) \(' | egrep -o '(normal|left|inverted|right)')"

# Using current screen orientation proceed to rotate screen and input tools.
