Gnome-shell wayland, rotate screen

Assuming I'm using intel's driver.

Gnome-shell allows to rotate screens in Settings -> Display when using Xorg.

Is it possible to rotate when using Wayland?

A partial solution is to set the rotate-monitor key to some keybinding using gsettings or dconf-editor.

For instance, the following command will cause Ctrl+F8 to rotate the screen counterclockwise:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.mutter.keybindings rotate-monitor "['XF86RotateWindows', '<Control>F8']"

This does not allow the user to specify the target orientation, but only to rotate the screen until the desired orientation is reached.

I had the problem with no screen rotation buttons in the monitor settings in my Lenovo Yoga 910 laptop, which is a convertible.

After Gnome started to randomly flip the screen I disabled automatic screen rotation via: gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.orientation active false

and suddenly, I've got these buttons!

GNOME's Mutter supports screen rotation on Wayland since 3.20, and 3.22 has improved it. https://wiki.gnome.org/ThreePointTwentyone/ReleaseNotes
