Enable the Japanese 106/109 Keyboard Layout
If you are connected to a Windows XP desktop, you can configure Horizon Client to use the Japanese
106/109 keyboard layout.
Prerequisites
Use Horizon Client to connect to a Windows XP desktop that has the Japanese keyboard layout enabled.
Procedure
1 Use the Horizon Client user interface tools to display the Options list.
2 Tap to toggle the Japanese 106/109 Keyboard option to On.
This setting is disabled if the keyboard layout on the Windows XP desktop is not set to Japanese. This
setting is hidden if the desktop is not running Windows XP.
3 Tap Done.
Using Native Operating System Gestures with Touch Redirection
With Horizon Client 3.2 and later, you can use native operating system gestures from your touch-based
mobile device when you are connected to a Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 remote desktop or a remote
application hosted on Windows Server 2012. For example, you can touch, hold, and release an item on a
Windows 8 desktop to display the item's context menu.
When touch redirection is enabled, you can use only native operating system touch gestures. Horizon Client
local gestures, such as double-click and pinch, no longer work. You must drag the Unity Touch tab button to
display the Unity Touch sidebar.
Touch redirection is enabled by default when you connect to a Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 remote
desktop or remote application hosted on Windows Server 2012.
To disable touch redirection for a remote desktop, use the Horizon Client interface tools to display the
Options dialog box and tap to toggle the Touch Redirection option to Off.
Using the Unity Touch Sidebar with a Remote Desktop
You can quickly navigate to a remote desktop application or file from a Unity Touch sidebar. From this
sidebar, you can open files and applications, switch between running applications, and minimize, maximize,
restore, or close windows and applications in a remote desktop.
If the Unity Touch feature is enabled, the sidebar appears on the left side of the screen when you first access
a remote desktop.
