What I want is to be able to start an app like Textmaker in any way possible, either through the start menu or File Explorer or by clicking on a Textmaker doc file, and have it automatically change to Landscape mode.

From what I read it seems shSchema is the only app that can supposedly do this, but it looks like you need to know the actual command or .exe for rotate (and it ain't rotate.exe cause I tried that like a dozen times...)

Any other ideas?

Try mortscript. Write a custom script to first rotate the screen than launch the apps you need. And rotate back after quitting the apps, where necessary.

Edit: BTW, You can use mortbuttons without actually mapping it to hard keys. You will find the relevant icons at Start Menu -> Programs -> Mortbuttons (e.g. mortbuttons1, mortbuttons2, etc) and you can make shortcuts or whatever you like.
