Since the Touch Pro doesn't have many hardware buttons, I decided I wanted to be able to use the keyboard for shortcuts. I listen to podcasts on the way home and I don't like the way I can't prevent the screen from rotating when I pop out the keyboard. Plus being plugged into the stereo makes it difficult to handle in a landscape layout.

Thankfully I found Mortscript! I wrote the following simple script and assigned this script as my shortcut for Pocket Player:

Run( "\Program Files\Pocket Player\pocketplayer.exe" )
While ( ProcExists( "pocketplayer.exe" ) )
If ( Screen( "landscape" ) )
Rotate( 0 )
EndIf
Sleep( 500 )
EndWhile

Every half second it checks if the player is in landscape mode and flips it back if not. Gyrator 2 is a great program for handling this, but even it can't prevent the keyboard rotation from happening.

I can't be the only one to deal with this!
