Help how to rotate screen when auto rotate is off

99dmg

Newbie
I want to turn auto-rotate off as I found it to be very annoying, but I still want to rotate it myself manually. How do I rotate the screen when auto rotate is turned off

Current using stock jelly bean
 
i would like something similar. when im using the phone generally, screen shouldnt rotate when the phone is tilted. but when i start typing, it should allow me to type in landscape mode. any help?
 
Other than rooting the phone and installing a custom rom that allows you to rebind they navigation key longpresses, I've no idea how to do it. :(

Or install a rom with notification toggles, and just turn on the rotation when you want it. Some ROMs even have it as an option up next to the Settings tab in the notification tray, like on the Nexus 7.

Or if you don't want to root there are plenty of apps out there that can add notification toggles. I use Power Toggles myself.
