XO-4 does not support rotate the screen yet. You should try with other
models.

The keyboard appear because you pressed a key (you don't need press the 4
at once, any key will show it)

Detecting osk show/hide. is more complicate than should be, in my point of
view. Probably, because the idea behind this is the osk should appear and
hide in a automatic way based in the widgets needs.

I think you should check the class DocumentView in widgets.py in Write
activity, to see how the signals are used. Carlos Garnacho worked on this.
