There is no unanimous interpretation of the meaning of the icon, but cycling windows (aka Alt+Tab) seemed the most useful to have there. Another key has a portrait and landscape screen symbol with arrows in between, i. e. change between portrait and landscape screen rotation; it is currently triggering a KEY_DIRECTION evdev event. Pressing the latter does nothing, pressing the former key causes screen rotation. It should be the other way around. /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet maps <I162> (which is KEY_CYCLEWINDOWS) to XF86RotateWindows. The problem here is that there is unclear terminology on all three levels of the stack here: * "Rotating windows" is a misnomer and doesn't make sense; what we really want is either cycling windows or rotating screens. I think xkb-data shouldn't map cycling windows to rotating windows, so I file this against xkb-data. * KEY_DIRECTION is a bit underspecified, too. It could be used for screen rotation just as well as for changing the direction your turtle is walking in your Logo interpreter. * gnome-settings-daemon causes screen rotation on XF86RotateWindows. But as there is no XF86RotateScreen, that's the closest xkbsym to use. I think it would be best to fix it in the xkb-data layer and map <I161> (KEY_DIRECTION) to XF86RotateScreen and don't define <I162> (KEY_CYCLEWINDOWS).
