@khanalrahul Just like the file you already have when extracting ScrCpy, I made a new one and called it "scrcpy - screen turned off.vbs" .

I've put it on the folder of ScrCpy, and it works fine.

According to this: Genymobile/scrcpy#103 (comment)
The volume up and down are actually Ctrl+↑ and Ctrl+↓ (and seems to be not just on the dev branch anymore)

Ctrl+↑ and Ctrl+↓ is working for me. Thanks.

Right CTRL-s is a shortcut here for task list on Ubuntu 20.04

Im on v1.23 win 10. Shortcuts don't work on my machine.
Trying to rotate image to the vertical but get these messages -
"server] WARN: Could not inject char u+263a"
"server] WARN: Could not inject char u+264o"

On Windows
alt + o = Device Screen Off
alt + shift + o = Device Screen On
alt + p = Power Button Press therefore turning screen on and off. Unless Device Screen is Off shown above.

This helped me out, maybe a refactoring of the command shortcuts information would be a neat little project.

@khanalrahul I use this shortcut on Windows OS:

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "cmd /c scrcpy.exe -S --always-on-top", 0, false

Probably very similar on other OSs.
Sadly, on some cases it loses on-top, probably because of other apps that do it.

I didnot get what actually to do. Where to write this code? Can you describe for me please?

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "cmd /c scrcpy.exe -S --always-on-top", 0, false

scrcpy --always-on-top

on some devices alt works instead of ctrl.
(sorry for bad english)

Can we customize keyboard shortcuts?

is there a hotkey for the motion of "dragging down and releasing" to do a refresh?

@girng use your mouse click and drag, not sure about hotkey.

yeah the mouse works was just curious if there was a hotkey or something that could simulate it. ty

Thank you very very much!

In response to the 'how to turn the screen off'.

double-tap in the status bar. tap anywhere to get the screen back.

I second this.

The volume up and down are actually Ctrl+↑ and Ctrl+↓ (and seems to be not just on the dev branch anymore)

On my linux machine, it's now Alt+↑ and Alt+↓

@function1983 It's also on Windows.
Though, for me it's only left-Alt.
Perhaps the right-Alt is used for really reaching Alt key of the device, or something.

Is there a way to simulate pressing power and volume down at the same time?

For me the volume control shortcut doesn't work

the shortcut for volume is ALT+⬆️ or ALT+⬇️

The volume up and down are actually Ctrl+↑ and Ctrl+↓ (and seems to be not just on the dev branch anymore)

On my linux machine, it's now Alt+↑ and Alt+↓

windows11 + galaxy s21+ env, it works too. Thanks.

you can press CTL/ALT and then press P and ^(UP) at the same time

@saktibuana For some reason, it requires you to use the left-ALT, and not the right-ALT. I wish both worked, or just the right one, because I prefer to use a single hand for this.

left alt (lalt) is the default modifier, but it can be changed using --shortcut-mod. Possible keys are lctrl, rctrl, lalt, ralt, lsuper and rsuper. For example:

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

# or, per your stated preference - use either LAlt or RAlt for shortcuts
scrcpy --shortcut-mod=lalt,ralt

PS - I know I'm responding to a 4+ year old post, but it's less for @AndroidDeveloperLB, who more than likely figured it out by now, and more for the countless scrcpy users that, much like I did, find themselves here due to it being the first Google search result for "scrcpy shortcuts"
