Highlights

Stay awake

A new option has been added to prevent the device to sleep:

scrcpy --stay-awake
scrcpy -w  # short option

This is especially useful when --turn-screen-off/-S is enabled, because the device screen will stay awake (no lock screen to unlock after some delay) with screen off:

scrcpy -Sw  # turn sceen off and stay awake

The initial "stay awake" state is restored when scrcpy is closed. This is the case even on disconnection/unplug (a new mechanism has been implemented to cleanup on disconnection, --show-touches also benefits from it).

Turn screen on

The shortcut to turn the screen back on after --turn-screen-off or Ctrl+o had been removed (8c8649c) due to issues on some devices. Of course, it was still possible to turn it back on using the power button (twice), but it was not very convenient.

Therefore, to turn the screen on, the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+o has been reactivated in this release. In practice, it works on many devices (in fact, I could not reproduce the issue anymore).

Seamless copy-paste

Clipboard synchronization between the Android device and the computer allowed to transfer UTF-8 text, but copy-pasting required an annoying two-steps copy.

Now, you can copy a text on Android (long-press on a text field, then click COPY), and immediately press Ctrl+v on the computer to paste it.

In the other direction, Ctrl+Shift+v, in addition to synchronizing the clipboards, now injects a PASTE command (if the device runs Android >= 7). This preserves UTF-8 text.

Fix HiDPI issues on secondary screen

A rework of the rendering code (#1408) fixes the long-standing issue #15, causing wrong click locations on secondary monitors (especially on macOS).

Properly handle Ctrl+C on Windows

On Windows, Ctrl+C in the terminal just killed the program, without any cleanup. This was particularly annoying while recording, because in that case the resulting file was corrupted (#818).

Pressing Ctrl+C on Windows now quits the app properly (like on the other platforms).

Advanced codec options

A new advanced option has been added to pass any raw option to MediaFormat. This could be used for example to change the profile/level of the codec:

scrcpy --codec-options profile=1,level=4096

See #1226 and #1325.
