Input Devices, Keyboards, and Keyboard Settings
Horizon Client for Android supports Bluetooth and docked keyboard devices and keyboards. You can also
set preferences for seings such as auto-capitalization and text correction.
External Keyboards and Input Devices
For information about the devices that your specic tablet supports, see the documentation from the tablet
manufacturer.
External keyboards are sometimes automatically detected by Horizon Client. For some external keyboards,
you must either tap the tablet screen with three ngers at the same time, or you must 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.
N On Kindle Fire tablets, tapping with three ngers does not display the onscreen keyboard. You can
instead use the Keyboard icon to display the onscreen keyboard.
After the external keyboard is detected, you might not be able to use the Horizon Client Tools or three-nger
tap to display the onscreen keyboard. You might rst have to deactivate the external keyboard by pressing
its Eject key.

United States, Japanese, French, German, Simplied Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Spanish.
To choose a language for the keyboard or voice, tap the Keyboard Seings key on the onscreen keyboard.

nish selecting seings, tap the Android Back buon to dismiss the dialog box.
