You can use standard OS X keyboard shortcuts to interact with remote applications. For example, you
can press Command-W to close an individual application window and Command-S to save the current
file. You can also use standard OS X keyboard shortcuts to copy, cut, and paste text between your OS X
applications and remote applications. In Horizon Client 3.2 and later, you can customize keyboard
shortcut mappings. See “Configure Keyboard Shortcut Mappings,” on page 28.
n
In Horizon Client 3.1 and later, if a remote application creates a Windows System Tray item, that item
appears in the notification area on the menu bar on your Mac client system. You can interact with this
item from the notification area on your Mac in the same way that you would interact with it from the
System Tray on a Windows system.
NOTE When you re-click a redirected System Tray item in the notification area on your Mac, the
context menu does not disappear.
Use a Local IME with Remote Applications
When using non-English keyboards and locales, you can use an IME (input method editor) installed in your
local system to send non-English characters to a remote hosted application.
You can also use the Input menu in the menu bar on your Mac or keyboard shortcuts to switch to a different
IME. No IME is required to be installed in the remote RDS host.
NOTE On a Mac, an IME is referred to as an input source.
This feature is supported in Horizon Client 3.4 and later.
When this feature is turned on, the local IME is used. If an IME is installed and configured on the RDS host
where the remote application is installed, that remote IME is ignored.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that one or more IMEs are installed in the client system.
n
Verify that you are using Horizon Client 3.4 or later.
n
Verify that View Agent 6.1.1 or later is installed on the RDS host.
Procedure
1 In the desktop and application selection window of Horizon Client, Control-click a remote application
and select Settings.
2 In the Remote Applications pane that appears, select the Extend the local IME to hosted applications
check box.
3 Use the local IME as you would with any locally installed applications.
The Input menu appears in the menu bar on your Mac client system. When you are using a remote
application, you can switch to a different language or IME by using the Input menu or keyboard shortcuts.
Key combinations that perform certain actions, such as Command-C to copy and Command-V to paste, will
still work correctly.
Saving Documents in a Remote Application
With certain remote applications, such as Microsoft Word or WordPad, you can create and save documents.
Where these documents are saved depends on your company's network environment. For example, your
documents might be saved to a home share mounted on your local computer.
Administrators can use an ADMX template file to set a group policy that specifies where documents are
saved. This policy is called "Set Remote Desktop Services User Home Directory." For more information, see
the "RDS Profiles Settings" topic in the Setting Up Desktop and Application Pools in View document.
