User`s guide

Even if you use an external keyboard, a one-row onscreen keyboard might still appear, which contains
function keys, and the Ctrl, Alt, Win, and arrow keys. Some external keyboards do not have all these keys.
Sending a String of Characters
From the onscreen keyboard, tap the pen icon on the left side of the Ctrl key to display the local input
buffer. Text that you type into this text box is not sent to an application until you tap Send. For example, if
you open an application such as Notepad and tap the pen icon, the text that you type does not appear in the
Notepad application until you tap Send.
Use this feature if you have a poor network connection. That is, use this feature if, when you type a
character, the character does not immediately appear in the application. With this feature, you can quickly
type up to 1,000 characters and then either tap Send or tap Return to have all 1,000 characters appear at
once in the application.
If you are using Horizon View Client 1.4 or earlier versions, use this feature for entering Korean characters
or characters from other languages that require multistage IME support. With Horizon View Client 1.5 and
later versions, you are not required to use this feature for entering Korean characters.
Navigation Keys
Tap the Ctrl/Page icon in the Horizon View Client interface tools or onscreen keyboard to display the
navigation keys. These keys include Page Up, Page Down, arrow keys, function keys, and other keys that
you often use in Windows environments, such as Alt, Del, Shift, Ctrl, Win, and Esc. You can press and hold
arrow keys for continuous key strokes. For a picture of the Ctrl/Page icon, see the table at the beginning of
this topic.
Use the Shift key on this keypad when you need to use key combinations that include the Shift key, such as
Ctrl+Shift. To tap a combination of these keys, such as Ctrl+Alt+Del, first tap the onscreen Ctrl key. After the
Ctrl key turns blue, tap the onscreen Alt key. After the Alt key turns blue, tap the Del key.
Onscreen Touchpad and Full Screen Touchpad
The virtual touchpad can be either regular-size, to resemble a touchpad on a laptop computer, or full screen,
so that the entire device screen is a touchpad.
With View Client 1.7 and later versions, by default, when you tap the touchpad icon, you can touch
anywhere on the screen to move the mouse pointer. The screen becomes a full screen touchpad. To change
the default, so that the virtual touchpad resembles the touchpad on a laptop, including right- and left-click
buttons, use the Horizon View Client interface tools to display the general settings or options and turn the
Full screen touchpad control off.
To display the General settings list and choose the type of virtual touchpad, if you are not using full screen
mode, the Settings button is in the upper-right corner of the screen. If you are using full screen mode, tap
the Horizon View Client Tools icon and tap the settings icon. For pictures of the icons used in full screen
mode, see the table at the beginning of this topic.

desktop.

The regular touchpad also contains left-click and right-click buttons.
n
You can tap with two fingers and then drag to scroll vertically.

operate the touchpad while you are holding the device.
