Keyboard shortcut for mirror display - MacBook Pro 2018's display is broken

My 2018 MacBook Pro's display broke. I would like to change the display setting to mirror, but I cannot see on my screen since it's broke - it's totally black. Is there a keyboard shortcut to do this? My MacOS is Sonoma 14.6.1. Any advice will be much appreciated!
