When video playback is turned off, the default mouse mode has changed
from "uhid" to "disabled" in 2c25fd7a80.
Update the documentation accordingly.

Control
Read-only
To disable controls (everything which can interact with the device: input keys, mouse events, drag&drop files):
scrcpy --no-control
scrcpy -n # short version
Keyboard and mouse
Control only
To control the device without mirroring:
scrcpy --no-video --no-audio
By default, the mouse is disabled when video playback is turned off.
To control the device using a relative mouse, enable UHID mouse mode:
scrcpy --no-video --no-audio --mouse=uhid
scrcpy --no-video --no-audio -M # short version
To also use a UHID keyboard, set it explicitly:
scrcpy --no-video --no-audio --mouse=uhid --keyboard=uhid
scrcpy --no-video --no-audio -MK # short version
To use AOA instead (over USB only):
scrcpy --no-video --no-audio --keyboard=aoa --mouse=aoa
Copy-paste
Any time the Android clipboard changes, it is automatically synchronized to the computer clipboard.
Any Ctrl shortcut is forwarded to the device. In particular:
- Ctrl+c typically copies
- Ctrl+x typically cuts
- Ctrl+v typically pastes (after computer-to-device clipboard synchronization)
This typically works as you expect.
The actual behavior depends on the active application though. For example, Termux sends SIGINT on Ctrl+c instead, and K-9 Mail composes a new message.
To copy, cut and paste in such cases (but only supported on Android >= 7):
- MOD+c injects
COPY - MOD+x injects
CUT - MOD+v injects
PASTE(after computer-to-device clipboard synchronization)
In addition, MOD+Shift+v injects the computer clipboard text as a sequence of key events. This is useful when the component does not accept text pasting (for example in Termux), but it can break non-ASCII content.
WARNING: Pasting the computer clipboard to the device (either via Ctrl+v or MOD+v) copies the content into the Android clipboard. As a consequence, any Android application could read its content. You should avoid pasting sensitive content (like passwords) that way.
Some Android devices do not behave as expected when setting the device clipboard
programmatically. An option --legacy-paste is provided to change the behavior
of Ctrl+v and MOD+v so that they
also inject the computer clipboard text as a sequence of key events (the same
way as MOD+Shift+v).
To disable automatic clipboard synchronization, use
--no-clipboard-autosync.
Pinch-to-zoom, rotate and tilt simulation
To simulate "pinch-to-zoom": Ctrl+click-and-move.
More precisely, hold down Ctrl while pressing the left-click button. Until the left-click button is released, all mouse movements scale and rotate the content (if supported by the app) relative to the center of the screen.

To simulate a vertical tilt gesture: Shift+click-and-move-up-or-down.

Similarly, to simulate a horizontal tilt gesture: Ctrl+Shift+click-and-move-left-or-right.
Technically, scrcpy generates additional touch events from a "virtual finger" at a location inverted through the center of the screen. When pressing Ctrl the x and y coordinates are inverted. Using Shift only inverts x, whereas using Ctrl+Shift only inverts y.
This only works for the default mouse mode (--mouse=sdk).
File drop
Install APK
To install an APK, drag & drop an APK file (ending with .apk) to the scrcpy
window.
There is no visual feedback, a log is printed to the console.
Push file to device
To push a file to /sdcard/Download/ on the device, drag & drop a (non-APK)
file to the scrcpy window.
There is no visual feedback, a log is printed to the console.
The target directory can be changed on start:
scrcpy --push-target=/sdcard/Movies/
