The Tizen Emulator provides a variety of control keys and menus.
The image of the general purpose skin is generated by nine-patch image processing. The Emulator skin frame has the same appearance on every state of resolution, scale, or rotation. Unlike the phone shape skin, the layout of the general purpose skin is not configurable.
The key window displays an independent hardware key input window, which can be moved to any position on the screen or docked to the left or right side of the main window. If the key window is docked with the main window, both windows can be moved together on the screen.
Use the toggle button to show or hide the key window.
The pair tag indicates that the Emulator main window and key window are in a pair. This tag is activated when the key window is open. The pair tag color changes every time the Emulator boot occurs.
The following figure illustrates the general purpose skin Emulator.

The phone shape skin has a phone-shaped image frame, and its hardware keys are on the main window skin. You can configure the phone shape skin.

The following keys are available on the Emulator:
When you tap, it opens a list of options available for the current screen.
If you long press the Home key, the Task switcher application appears as in a real device. If you double-click the Home key, the Search application appears as in a real device.
When you tap, it returns to the previous screen.
You can power off the display by clicking the Power key in most general situations. Sometimes, the display does not power off though you click the Power key.

You can control the volume with the Volume Up and Volume Down keys.
