Woo hoo!

Today I needed to screenshot the Android phone from Windows over Wi-Fi by
putting the Android phone into "scroll" mode, which requires simultaneous
pressing of _two_ hardware buttons & then a subsequent tapping on a box
containing a "scroll down" icon that then pops up on the Android screen.

Given the FOSS scrcpy developers (actually, it was Genymotion who donated
the src apparently) have apparently thought of everything, it was easy.

The hardware buttons to press simultaneously are:
a. Power Key
b. Volume Down key

That was accomplished by pressing, in Windows the:
MOD key + downarrow (i.e., the volume down key) & p (i.e., the power key)

Essentially the left hand holds down the MOD key (aka the leftalt key).
And the right hand simultaneously presses the downarrow & p keyboard keys.

You need big hands, where, luckily, mine are XXL so it's no problem for me.

BTW, you can even expand and collapse the notification panel:
a. Expand Notification Panel === Mod + n
b. Collapse Notification Panel === Mod + Shift + n

But one of the _neatest_ tricks was the drag and drop of an APK file!
<https://i.postimg.cc/wvsbcNBz/scrcpy05.jpg>

Literally, you drag _any_ APK from your PC file system onto the mirrored
Android Window, and it's _silently_ completely installed automatically!

How kewl is that!

If you consider that a WebDAV server mounts the _entire_ Android phone
system (even the system root filesystem!) onto Windows as a drive letter,
coupled with the FOSS Google Play Store client _not_ deleting APKs after
they're installed off of the Google Play Store... then you have complete
drag-and-drop access to _all_ the APKs you've ever installed - on _multiple_
phones which are on your LAN - all completely seamlessly and silently!

This FOSS Windows scrcpy program is an instant keeper!

It's so simple... the developers have thought of almost everything already!

I'm not ashamed to admit just a few days ago I was ignorant of the ease of
not only bypassing all Android recording restrictions, but also of how well
this FOSS software works to allow operation of Android on Windows over WiFi.

You can sit at your computer with your phone on a charger fifty feet away,
and you can still control the phone using the Windows PC mouse & keyboard
(and the phone grows to 20 inches from 6.5 inches for those tired old eyes).

When I asked on the other operating system newsgroups how people do it, the
_adult_ operating system newsgroups added tremendous value to the setup:
<https://groups.google.com/g/alt.msdos.batch/c/DmexCLwn_tM>
<https://groups.google.com/g/alt.comp.microsoft.windows/c/eMYBmpq2H50>

Only on the child-like Apple operating system newsgroup was there no value.
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/6Oc1eLcB7uM>

In fact, as usual, the child-like Apple owners deprecated the mere hint that
anyone would want to be able to do something Apple didn't provide to them.

It's always the case with these Apple child-like operating system newsgroups
that the _same_ question asked of them garners child-like responses that
never appear on the _adult_ operating systems newsgroups (see above proof).

Nonetheless, the goal is to learn how to wrest control over the device,
where it's _fantastic_ how well FOSS smartphone mirroring works on PCs.
