Who would have thought on putting the simple and prevailing combo Ctrl + Alt + Down Arrow as a default hotkey for this? And in a program you didn't even intentionally installed?

Stupid Intel driver programmers, thanks for nothing, really. Still wondering if this came to life as an internal joke.

I thought that at first, but it is very handy when I take my laptop between normal monitor and vertical monitor.

The problem is not that the feature exist, it's that is set as default with key combos that are the standard way for selecting text, one of the most common use cases of the computer keyboard, afaik.

Ctrl alt for selecting text?

I know of shift and command, emacs and vi don't require you hold down any key. What system uses ctrl+alt?
