The Command Palette is a quick-access tool inside the extension (accessible via `Cmd+K` or `Ctrl+K`) that allows you to trigger actions like screenshots, device rotation, theme switching, and foldable state toggling instantly.

Question 19

Can I take screenshots of my simulations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can take high-resolution screenshots of the current viewport or full-page captures directly from the extension panel or the Command Palette.

Question 20

What is 'Safe Area' debugging?

Accepted Answer

This feature highlights the 'unusable' hardware areas (like notches, islands, or rounded corners) to ensure your UI elements aren't obscured by physical device constraints.

Question 21

How does 'Touch Pointer' simulation work?

Accepted Answer

Our engine replaces the standard mouse cursor with a mobile touch-style pointer and re-routes mouse events as native touch commands (`touchstart`, `touchend`), helping you debug touch-only interactions.

Question 22

Can I simulate different battery levels?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can toggle battery percentages and charge states to test 'low power mode' or 'charging' UI indicators in your application.

Question 23

Does the extension work on localhost?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Emuluxe is designed for local-first development and works perfectly with `localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, and custom local subdomains.

Question 24

How do I sync my bookmarks across devices?

Accepted Answer

Pro and Enterprise users have 'Cloud Config Bookmarks' that sync your favorite device and network configurations across browser instances using `chrome.storage.sync` and our platform API.

Question 25

Can I record video of my simulations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pro and Enterprise users can capture high-resolution MP4 videos of their simulation sessions, which are automatically saved to the Capture Gallery.

Question 26

What is 'Hover Tilt'?

Accepted Answer

Hover Tilt is a visual effect that tilts the 3D device frame based on your mouse position, providing a more immersive feel while testing mobile-first layouts.

Question 27

Can I customize the User Agent string?

Accepted Answer

While we provide accurate default User Agents for each device, Pro users can override the UA string in the Browser Settings tab for specific edge-case testing.

Question 28

Does Emuluxe support Dark Mode?

Accepted Answer

The extension panel itself has a sleek dark mode, and you can also toggle the `prefers-color-scheme` preference for the simulated page independent of your system theme.

Question 29

How do I inspect elements inside the simulation?

Accepted Answer

Emuluxe integrates with Chrome DevTools. You can right-click any element in the simulation and select 'Inspect' to see the underlying source code.

Question 30

Does the extension support Biometric simulation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can test WebAuthn, FaceID, and TouchID flows using our custom Biometric UI overlay, which allows you to manually trigger 'Success' or 'Failure' responses.

Question 31

Which IDEs does Emuluxe support?

Accepted Answer

The Pro plan unlocks our full library of 90+ hardware signatures, while Enterprise users can request custom device profiles.

Question 51

What hardware signatures do you spoof?

Accepted Answer

We spoof the User-Agent, GPU Vendor (e.g., Apple GPU, Qualcomm Adreno), WebGL Renderer, CPU Cores, Device Memory, and screen DPI to ensure sites perceive the simulation as a real mobile device.

Question 52

Can I test foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we support foldable device signatures and allow you to toggle between folded and unfolded states to test responsive layouts for dual-screen hardware.

Question 53

Can I test biometric authentication?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Emuluxe supports dual-mode biometric simulation: a 'Simulated' mode that uses a custom UI overlay to trigger WebAuthn success/failure, and a 'Physical' mode that passes the request through to your host machine's native biometrics (like Touch ID or Face ID).

Question 54

How do you handle the 'Dynamic Island'?

Accepted Answer

We provide an accurate overlay of the Dynamic Island for supported iPhone models, including its interactive states and its impact on the safe area calculation.

Question 55

Can I simulate rotation to landscape mode?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every device in our library supports both Portrait and Landscape orientations, with the viewport and safe areas updating instantly.

Question 56

Is the simulation safe-area aware?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We strictly follow hardware specifications for safe-area insets, ensuring your UI elements aren't hidden behind notches, sensors, or rounded corners.

Question 57

Can I test on older devices like the iPhone 6?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we maintain a library of legacy hardware signatures to help you support users on older hardware and slower processors.

Question 58

Does Emuluxe support hardware concurrency spoofing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we inject `navigator.hardwareConcurrency` values to match the CPU core count of the specific emulated hardware.

Question 59

Is device memory spoofed for the browser?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide `navigator.deviceMemory` values (e.g., 4GB, 8GB) consistent with the real hardware profile chosen.

Question 60

Can I simulate motion sensors?

Accepted Answer

We offer motion sensor emulation, allowing you to pass accelerometer and gyroscope data to test AR or motion-sensitive web applications.

Question 61

Does Emuluxe support high-refresh-rate display emulation?

Accepted Answer

While the simulation timing can mimic 120Hz (ProMotion) logic, the actual visual smoothness is limited by your physical monitor's refresh rate.

Question 62

What network profiles are available?

Accepted Answer

We offer 5G, 4G LTE, 4G Slow, 3G Fast, 3G Slow, 2G, and Offline presets, which simulate varying levels of latency and throughput.

Question 63

Can I create custom network throttles?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can manually set the Latency (ping) to match specific real-world conditions. High-latency simulation is crucial for testing the resilience of your UI during heavy asset loads.

Question 64

Does Emuluxe support Geo-location spoofing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can choose from 250+ global locations or enter custom coordinates. Our engine overrides the `navigator.geolocation` API to return your selected location to the app.
