Describe the bug Pressing on a real keyboard results in a registered input, however sending keys via python with e.g pyautogui is not being recognized. Im getting no errors, it simply just doesnt type any char. Tested input with pyautogui with a browser, worked fine.

Scrcpy receives input events via SDL.

But how do I then control scrcpy with python?

My problem was similar to this. I was able to type numbers and symbols, but not letters.

Using these flags worked for me.

scrcpy --prefer-text

My problem is also similar to this. I cannot programmatically copy a string from my pc to my phone with pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'v'). If I manually press ctrl+v it works fine. I have not found a solution.
