Detecting screen folding degree and deactivating keyboard/touchpad if it passes 180 degree

[Faham]

Everything is great about the rotation the only thing missing is detecting whether the screen degree has passed 180 to disable keyboard and touchpad and going to the tablet mode.

Agreed.

I don't know where this information is being reported. It may be a
computation based on the two accelerators, but the other one is non-standard
so processing it would be a pain.

I did find out that the all-the-way-open determination is done using the
magnetic sensor, just like the all-the-way-shut is done. (I found this out
by putting two yogas on top of each other.) However, I also don't know how
that is reported.

As an interim, could we have a flag that disables the touchpad and keyboard if the screen is rotated 90,180 or 270? That said I have attached /bin/orientation --count=1 to the rotate button on the side (SUPER+Y), which I would still like to function. :-) Or maybe a flag that runs a script with rotation. Anyway, just some ideas. Thanks for the work thus far :-)

That's not on my plans for implementation, but feel free to code it up
yourself and submit it as a patch.
