I have a DELL P2415Q Monitor with Pivot-Mode. When I rotate the monitor I would like to rotate the screen with BetterDisplay to 90° and when I'm done I would like to turn it back to 0°. Unfortunately this is not so easy to be done right now, because I need to set two shortcuts (one for 90° and one for 0°) and there is no option to not rotate the internal screen (I thought it would be the Config Protection → Protect Rotation, but I guess this only protects the rotation when turning the screen on or off).

I would like to define a shortcut for going in and out of Pivot-Mode only on the external Monitor.

P.S.: Thank you for your App - after using MonitorControl for quite some time it was a nobrainer to support your work here. :)

Normally if the Keyboard shortcuts affect setting is not set to all screens, but to the screen with the mouse, the internal display should not be affected (only the display which has the mouse). Does this help with this issue?

But I could an option so the rotation shortcut affects external screens only even if shortcuts are set to have an effect on all screens as it is rather rare that an user wants to rotate the internal macbook display. :)

I know that it only affects the screen with the mouse, but I wanted to prevent accidental changes. With my old Intel Mac, I had an AppleScript assigned to a keyboard-shortcut, that checked the rotation and then used a command line tool (displayplacer) to set the respectively different setting, but this does not work for me with Apple Silicon.
