piss off your users?make a non-redefinable shortcut that clobbers a standard one

While it's nice that they provide a sticky, it would be nicer if, anywhere on their site, they actually explain how to turn off their hideously annoying (some might say abusive) shortcuts IN VISTA. They don't. The information they give simply doesn't work, the files they reference do not exist.

Merida:
Have you contacted technical support? What was their reaction?

I used iRotate some time ago and i think i faced the same problem. The solution i found was to create two autohotkey shortcut running the appropriate iRotate command-line, as the program accepts parameters.

Deozaan:
This is exactly what iRotate has done: mapped shift + ctrl + arrows (something everyone uses to move around text, select blocks in excel etc) as their main screen rotation shortcut.

It's fun to try to select a word and see your screen rotating... several times.

The tool is incredibly useful, but it should have user-defined shortcuts, and in any case, never redefine window's system-wide shortcuts for a good reason.

Sounds like they need to rename their app to iRate to better reflect how it makes end-users feel.

ak_:
iRant ? :D
