Adding new option for falling back to clipboard pasting on character injection failures.

[starrify]

So that non-ASCII characters may be entered via IMEs. Resolves #37.

Submitting the changes here for now for review. Further documentation work would be needed on README.md and FAQ.md either in this PR or as separate ones if this gets merged early.

Hi,

Thank you for the proposal.

Using this method to inject text has drawbacks: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/pull/1426#issuecomment-633448242 But behind a flag, and only as a fallback, it might be acceptable.

@npes87184 Any opinion about this?

[npes87184]

I don't like this workaround. From my point of view, instead of adding an option that will be removed eventually, we should find time to actually implement the IME into scrcpy to resolve the problem correctly.

BTW, @rom1v I guess you are doing static build for client now, right?

Does it work fine for you when you type chinese? One advantage is that it may work without installing an app.

Do you think that it could be enabled by default when the character may not be injected (so that there is no new option)?

No, until #1753 is solved, I use the last version of FFmpeg built by zeranoe.

I will give it a try recently (maybe tonight if possible). Yes, without needing to install an app is a benefit in this method and I haven't noticed this.

Because the benefit of not having to install apps, I change my mind, I think it is worth to add this workaround in this time. However, too many options is also a problem now. If possible, I stand for not adding new option for this method.

Ok, I will take a look in my free time for static build. BTW, don't give high expectation, I am really busy recently :P.

It doesn't work for me. I ran scrcpy with --char-inject-fallback. And I cannot type chinese. Do I need to do something special? Like using some specific IME?

It doesn't work for me.

Hmm I'm sorry to know that. I also used an IME for Chinese for testing, and the environments are:

• GNU/Linux x86_64 5.8.10-arch1-1
• Xorg 1.20.9
• Gnome-shell 3.36.6 / GDM 3.36.3
• ibus 1.5.22

Could you share some info on your side so I may have a look?

Is there any progress for this PR? @rom1v @npes87184

Please test the new --hid-keyboard on dev branch.

@npes87184 Does IME work perfectly with HID?
