Before You Start

Prerequisites: Know the default shortcut keys. A custom shortcut must not duplicate one of them.; Save any game progress before you change display or file settings.

Step-by-Step

Click the mini mode icon at the top right of LDPlayer, or press Ctrl+F1, to shrink the emulator into a small window.
Choose Pin the emulator to keep it above other applications.
Press Ctrl+F11 to leave mini mode, or open the u2630 menu and unpin the window.
Open the menu, then choose Settings, then Shortcuts.
Assign a key. Do not use a key combination that a default shortcut already uses.
Press Ctrl+Q, the default boss key, to hide LDPlayer.
To return to your game, double-click the LDPlayer shortcut on your PC.
Press F11 to play in fullscreen.
Press F4 to zoom in and F5 to zoom out. You can also hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel.
Press F12 to show your keymap hints. To hide them, see the guide on hiding key prompts in games.
After a capture, click View in the small window at the bottom-right corner to open the folder that holds the screenshot.
Locate Virtual GPS along the right edge of the main interface, or press Ctrl+7.
Enter a location in the search box, or drag the map to a location.
Click Locate Here at the bottom right.
Open the menu and click Display frame rate. The counter appears in the top-left corner.
On the main interface, open System Apps > Settings.
Scroll down and open Apps & notifications.
Select the app and choose the uninstall option.
Alternatively, press and hold the app icon, drag it to the left, and use the uninstall button that appears.
Find the LDPlayer shortcut on your PC, right-click it, and select Open file location.
Open the res folder.
Copy the file named `GameCursorNormal` somewhere safe, then delete it from the folder.

## Overview LDPlayer includes built-in features for play and daily use. These include mini mode, keyboard shortcuts, zoom, screenshots, virtual GPS, a frame rate counter, app removal, and a custom cursor. This guide is a quick reference for each one. Read each section when you need it.

## Why these features help Small tools such as shortcuts and mini mode save time during long sessions. You can keep an eye on a game while you work in another program, and you can change the view without digging through menus. Most of these features can be turned off or undone.

## Verify Each feature responds as described. For example, the frame rate counter appears after you turn on Display frame rate.

## Common mistakes

Assigning a custom shortcut that a default shortcut already uses.
Deleting the cursor file in step 22 without keeping a copy.
Pressing a function key that a game also uses for its own controls.
Forgetting that the boss key hides the window but does not close LDPlayer.

## Notes and Troubleshooting

A custom shortcut must differ from the default shortcuts. Duplicates may cause LDPlayer to misbehave.
Step 22 changes a file that LDPlayer uses. Keep the copy so you can put the file back.
Legal review: Virtual GPS changes the location that apps see. Some games and services prohibit location changes. Review the game’s rules before you use it. Legal review: approved by AndroidEmulator on 2026-11-09.
