Greetings Lemmings,

I am not sure when touchscreen/tablet mode stuff was enhanced with KDE, I am guessing somewhere between 6.4.x and 6.6.x but I am quite pleased with this.

I couldn't find a good touchscreen compatible keyboard for the random times I used my Lenovo Yoga in touch mode, but somewhere along the way KDE was updated with some enhancements to touch mode.

I didn't know it until today that screen rotation was not an issue for my tablet mode either. I discovered it completely by accident.

Prior to this I had written a script I mapped to a hotkey to rotate the screen before switching to tablet mode.

This was such a wonderful surprise, so for anyone else looking to use KDE with their touch compatible devices I highly suggest trying it again.
