Scrcpy: Copy from device to computer clipboard (Ctrl + C)

[mttmllns]

I was looking for a quick way to get some copied text from my device onto my computer. Tried Ctrl + C and it didn't work. Any reason for this? Would be pretty useful for a lot of my workflow.

I'm on a Pixel with the latest scrcpy 1.3. Tried Ctrl + C with text in a textbox, selected text in a textbox, and long-pressed and copied selected text in a textbox.

This is a duplicate of https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/145 (so I'm closing this one).

Mainly because it has the same implications as https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/8#issuecomment-371819839.

I know this is not a solution at all, and it's barely relevant. But in some cases, like mine in which I needed to automate some workflows, my workaround was to use a service that allows you to interact with the android clipboard system via adb, called clipper.

Depending on your workflow this might help you. And who knows, maybe there's something on that old, old repo that could be helpful for implementing this feature on scrcpy.

Implemented on dev branch. See https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/145#issuecomment-497484917.
