Shortcuts

Actions can be performed on the scrcpy window using keyboard and mouse shortcuts.

In the following list, MOD is the shortcut modifier. By default, it's (left) Alt or (left) Super.

It can be changed using --shortcut-mod. Possible keys are lctrl, rctrl, lalt, ralt, lsuper and rsuper. For example:

bash

# use RCtrl for shortcuts
scrcpy --shortcut-mod=rctrl

# use either LCtrl or LSuper for shortcuts
scrcpy --shortcut-mod=lctrl,lsuper

Super is typically the Windows or Cmd key.

Shortcuts with repeated keys are executed by releasing and pressing the key a second time. For example, to execute "Expand settings panel":

Press and keep pressing MOD.
Then double-press n.
Finally, release MOD.

All Ctrl+key shortcuts are forwarded to the device, so they are handled by the active application.
