To adjust how quickly the pointer moves when you use the touchpad, adjust the Touchpad sensitivity
option. If you are using the remote desktop or application in full-screen mode, tap the Horizon Client Tools
radial menu icon, tap the gear icon, tap Touch, tap Touchpad sensitivity, and drag the slider.
If you are not using full-screen mode, Settings is in the menu in the upper-right corner of the Horizon Client
toolbar. If you are not connected to a remote desktop or application, tap the gear icon in the upper right
corner of the Horizon Client screen.
Gestures
VMware has created user interaction aids to help you navigate conventional Windows user interface
elements on a non-Windows device.
Clicking
As in other applications, you tap to click a user interface element.
Right-Clicking
The following options are available for right-clicking:
n
Use the Horizon Client Tools to display the regular virtual touchpad and use the touchpad's right-click
button.
n
On a touch screen, tap with two fingers at nearly the same time. The right-click occurs where the first
finger tapped.
n
On some devices, you can use an external mouse, such as a USB or Bluetooth mouse, to right-click.
Scrolling and Scrollbars
The following options are available for vertical scrolling.
n
On a touch screen, tap with one or two fingers and then drag to scroll. The text under your fingers
moves in the same direction as your fingers.
IMPORTANT Scrolling with one finger has the following limitations: It does not work if you have
zoomed in, or when the onscreen keyboard is displayed, or when you are using the full screen
touchpad.
n
Use the Horizon Client Tools to display the touchpad, tap the touchpad with two fingers, and then drag
to scroll.
n
Use the onscreen touchpad to move the mouse pointer and click scroll bars.
Zooming In and Out
As in other applications, pinch your fingers together or apart to zoom on a touch screen.
Window Resizing
If you use the full-screen touchpad to resize a window, touch and hold one finger at the corner or side of the
window and drag to resize.
If you use the regular-size virtual touchpad, touch and hold the left-click button while dragging the corner
or side of a window.
