You can quickly enable rotation lock on your Surface RT tablet. I am using the Surface RT and when the keyboard is not active you can force the device to lock rotation.

To enable rotation lock do the following:

  1. Slide from the right side of the screen to reveal the charms
  2. Tap the settings charm
  3. Tap the screen option
  4. From here click on the rotation lock at the top

You can also adjust the screen brightness when managing the rotation. There are tips to make this a short cut but considering it is only 3 taps I don’t see any value in having a shortcut.

    They should have put a hardware rotation lock switch.

      You know arrow the more I think about it the more i like the fact that it doesn’t. The less hardware pieces the less things to take away from the lines of the device.
