rotating the view for android x86 on VMWare

Question

How to I rotate the display view on android x86 installed in VMWare? Pressing Ctrl+F12 rotated it so that the back and home buttons went to the left of the screen, but now pressing Ctrl+F11 or Ctrl+F12 only keep it in landscape mode, with either the home button being towards the left or the right of the screen. How do I bring it back to portrait mode, that is, the home button at the bottom of the screen?

Try ctrl+f9, it will solve the problem and f9, f10, f11, f12 controls the different direction.

This did not work for me, is there any other solution? – Yogeesh Seralathan Mar 23 '17 at 02:37

Does not solve the issues for the applications that force particular orientation :-( – Philipp Munin Aug 03 '17 at 14:40

For my installation (Windows 8.1 Host, VMWare Player v7.1.0) I had to use the Alt key (the Ctrl key didn't work)

I.e. Alt+f9; Alt+f10; Alt+f11; Alt+f12
