The key strings are defined in server/drivers/picolcd.c the mapping 
should be obvious.

         .keymap       = { NULL,  "Plus", "Minus", "F1", "F2", "F3", "F4", "F5",

                   "Left", "Right", "Up", "Down", "Enter" },

The ToggleRotateKey stops and /starts/ rotation of screens so you just 
press Enter (OK) again, the clue is in the name, perhaps the comment 
above needs ammending.
