Iphone simulator screen rotation

Question

How can I rotate the iPhone simulator to landscape? I have read many items of information, and none of them has helped me yet. I am using xcode 4, and am developing an iphone application. Thanks!

Option 1: Use the left/right arrow keys while holding down command.

Option 2: Under the Hardware tab at the top, select "Rotate Left" or "Rotate Right".

If keyboard shortcuts aren't working for you, ensure that double check that Simulator > Hardware > Keyboard > Send Keyboard Shortcuts to Device is unchecked. I mistakenly thought that these shortcuts had been removed but this setting disables them. – Uze Sep 24 '19 at 16:25
If you are using Windows (xamarin) then use Alt+Left/Right keys to rotate the simulator on Windows. – AZ_ Apr 06 '20 at 07:46
It won't work if your have both of these options turned on: Simulator > Hardware > Keyboard > Send Keyboard Shortcuts to Device Simulator > Hardware > Keyboard > Connect Hardware Keyboard Turn one or both off and it should start working. Additional info on what @Uze said. :) – Will Apr 23 '20 at 01:14

This just creates a gray circle following the mouse for me. It doesn't rotate the screen. – ThisClark Dec 18 '17 at 14:42
