Q: Concerns Xeedle
Greetings,
I have a few questions I'd like to clarify:
1. On the [xeedle.ai](https://xeedle.ai/) website, you mention support for Cypress, but in the extension, I only see Selenium and Playwright. Could you clarify this?
2. The side panel works well for element inspection. Is there a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to toggle the pointer and another to toggle the panel?
3. Would it be possible to select a specific screen area, similar to a screenshot, to capture only a region of the elements being inspected? and then download it?
4. What sets Xeedle apart from tools like SelectorsHub, TruePath, or ChroPath?
5. In the history How did you enable the preview? When I entered the history I only see a link to the website where I took the elements from
Thank you for your attention. Looking forward to your response.
Best regards.

Oct 1, 2024A: Thank you for reaching out with your questions! I’m happy to clarify everything for you:
1: While Cypress support is not available yet, we are actively working on it and plan to introduce it in a future update.
2: Currently, we do not have keyboard shortcuts to toggle the pointer or the side panel. However, this is a great suggestion, and we will definitely consider adding it in future versions to enhance user experience.
3: That’s a fantastic idea! At the moment, we don’t have a feature to capture specific screen areas or download them, but I will pass this suggestion along to our development team for consideration in future updates.
4: Xeedle differentiates itself from other tools in several key ways:
1. Class File Generation: Xeedle generates a complete class file with all the element XPaths present
on the webpage. This allows you to directly use these XPath methods in your automation projects,
which can be a huge time-saver, particularly in frameworks like Selenium and Playwright.
2. Element Organization: Unlike some tools, Xeedle organizes the XPaths in a structured class
format, making it easier to manage and maintain element locators.
3. Customization and Extensibility: We focus on flexibility, allowing users to customize and extend
the generated files to suit specific automation needs, which provides greater control over
automation scripts.
5: In the history section, there are two links. The first link directs you to the webpage where the elements were inspected. The second link (below the page title) allows you to preview the generated class file, from which you can easily copy the XPaths for use in your project.
I hope this answers all of your questions. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further inquiries or suggestions—we’re always here to help!
