The top row of buttons allows you to turn on Live View, take screenshots of your computer screen, navigate between Spaces, and open Launchpad.
Mouse
Your device screen acts like a computer trackpad. Use it to control the mouse cursor on your computer, using the following gestures.
Gestures
Left Click - one-finger tap
Right Click - two-finger tap
Middle Click - three-finger tap
Scroll Up/Down - two-finger vertical pan
Scroll Left/Right - two-finger horizontal pan
Select/Drag - three-finger pan
Use a long press to lock the left mouse button in the pressed state to move windows or select items. Tap it again to release it. Swipe with one finger on the scroll area on the left to scroll content on your computer.
Keyboard
To show the keyboard, tap the keyboard icon above the bottom tab bar. Using the keyboard, you can enter text on your computer. Above the iOS keyboard, you have two rows of modifier and function keys. If you need to lock a modifier key, like Shift or Cmd, use a long press to do so, and to release it, tap it once.
Use the “text” button to paste text from your device on your computer, and enter text, usernames, or passwords. Note: usernames and passwords are sent using HTTP as plain text, so you should be careful and use it only on your local network at home.
Use a long press on the Show Keyboard button to switch between keyboard modes. For example, to show function keys (F1-F12) or switch to the numbers keyboard.

You can also use Dictation to enter text on your computer.
Live View
Live View allows you to see your computer screen on your device. You can enable it by tapping the display icon in the top toolbar.
Use a long press on the display icon to switch between Live View modes: regular and fit.
In normal mode, you can enable scaling of the image in the Input settings, and in fit mode, the image will fit your device screen.
Next to the Live View button, you have a screenshot button that allows you to take a screenshot of your computer screen and save it to Photos on your device (the app must have permission to capture the screen on your computer and to write to Photos on your device).
