copy text from pc to phone
- I have checked that a similar [feature request does not already exist.
i 've used the copy past function to copy and paste text from phone to pc but not the other way
** i realy don't know if its possible or not but it would be great if we could also copy text from pc to phone that would save a lot of time of moving text here and there
In theory, it works by default. However, on some devices (especially Samsung devices it seems), it does not work because setting the device clipboard does not work.
In that case, you can pass --legacy-paste to inject characters one by one.

@rom1v For me, it always worked fine on my Pixel 6 device. However, on the recent Android 13 update, I've noticed that indeed the clipboard sharing between PC and device is broken. I can't paste from PC to device, and the opposite (from device to PC).
Can you please check?
My Android build: TQ1A.221205.011
Having the same issue, used to copy and paste from my PC all the time but it no longer works on Pixel 6 Android 13.
@chilicoke Do you have perhaps the same build as me? I wonder if on the beta it happens, too
@chilicoke Check out https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/3497#issuecomment-1246780900. It fixes the issue for me with the same build.
@chilicoke Check out #3497 (comment). It fixes the issue for me with the same build.
That fixed it! Absolutely perfect, thank you so much!
@drothenberger This worked for me. How did you find it? Why isn't it on the releases ?
I just posted a link to a comment by the developer in another similar issue that contains a fix. I assume the dev will include it in the next release.
@drothenberger Thank you! I was beginning to think that ScrCpy won't work well anymore on Android, because of yet more restrictions that Google adds to it...
Unfortunately I was never able to correctly use the clipboard (Windows 10) on an Android 10 using a Samsung Galaxy J4. When I inject characters one by one (legacy paste or Shift Alt V), it sends all break lines like "Enter / Ctrl Enter", sending messages in chats. The only alternative I found was to use Microsoft's SwiftKey app to sync my Windows clipboard with my Android clipboard.
