How to mirror the MacBook screen to monitor with keyboard settings

My laptop screen is not working, so I have connected the external monitor. But in the monitor it appears as the extended display, I want to change it to the mirror display. How to change the settings using the laptop keypad?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

How to mirror the display on MacBook Air 2020 I need to mirror the display on my Macbook and on the external monitor I'm using. To clarify, I need both screens to show the same thing. All the support forums and articles online say to use the Arrangement tab in Apple menu  > System Preferences > Displays. However, on my Macbook (the 2020 version) there is NO arrangement tab! Can anyone help?
