How to enable "mirror" feature in the display settings using command line?
I'll presume that your monitors have the same resolution. Check for the names of your monitors with
$ xrandr --query
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3840 x 1200, maximum 32767 x 32767
LVDS1 connected 1920x1080+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 382mm x 215mm

So here, mine are LVDS1
and DP1
. If both are active, then simply run
xrandr --output DP1 --same-as LVDS1
If only one is active, then run
xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --primary --output DP1 --auto --same-as LVDS1
