Horizon Client Tools on a Mobile Device
On a mobile device, the Horizon Client Tools include buttons for displaying the onscreen keyboard, virtual
touchpad, configuration settings, and a virtual keypad for arrow keys and function keys.
When you use a remote desktop or application in full-screen mode, the Horizon Client Tools radial menu
icon appears at the right edge of the screen. You can drag the radial menu icon to relocate it. Tap to expand
the radial menu and display icons for each tool, which you can tap to select. Tap outside the tool icons to
collapse the icons back into the radial menu icon.
If the remote desktop or application is not in full-screen mode, a toolbar appears on the right side of the
menu bar at the top of the screen. You can tap the Full Screen icon on the toolbar to enter full-screen mode.
When you are in full-screen mode, you can tap a similar icon in the radial menu to exit full-screen mode.

The onscreen keyboard has more keys than the standard onscreen keyboard, for example, Control keys and
function keys are available. To display the onscreen keyboard, tap the screen with three fingers at the same
time or tap the Keyboard icon.
If you are using a remote desktop or application in full-screen mode, the Keyboard icon is in the
Horizon Client Tools radial menu. If you are not using full-screen mode, the Keyboard icon is on the
Horizon Client toolbar.
You can also use the feature that displays the onscreen keyboard whenever you tap a text field, such as in a
note or new contact. If you then tap in an area that is not a text field, the keyboard is dismissed.
