Onscreen Keyboard
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 ngers 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 eld, such as in a
note or new contact. If you then tap in an area that is not a text eld, the keyboard is dismissed.
To turn this feature on or o, use the Keyboard popup and Keyboard dismiss options. To display these
options when you are using a remote desktop or application in full-screen mode, tap the Horizon Client
Tools radial menu icon, tap the gear icon, and tap Keyboard. If you are not using full-screen mode, 
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.
N On Kindle Fire tablets, tapping with three ngers does not display the onscreen keyboard. You can
instead tap the Keyboard icon on the Horizon Client toolbar to display the onscreen keyboard.
Even if you use an external keyboard, a one-row onscreen keyboard might still appear, which contains
function keys, and the Ctrl, Alt, Win, and arrow keys. Some external keyboards do not have all these keys.
Sending a String of Characters
From the onscreen keyboard, tap the pen icon on the left side of the Ctrl key to display the local input buer.
Text that you type into this text box is not sent to an application until you tap Send. For example, if you
open an application such as Notepad and tap the pen icon, the text that you type does not appear in the
Notepad application until you tap Send.
Use this feature if you have a poor network connection. That is, use this feature if, when you type a
character, the character does not immediately appear in the application. With this feature, you can quickly
type up to 1,000 characters and then either tap Send or tap Return to have all 1,000 characters appear at
once in the application.
Navigation Keys
Tap the Ctrl/Page icon in the Horizon Client Tools or onscreen keyboard to display the navigation keys.
These keys include Page Up, Page Down, arrow keys, function keys, and other keys that you often use in
Windows environments, such as Alt, Del, Shift, Ctrl, Win, and Esc. You can press and hold arrow keys for
continuous key strokes. For a picture of the Ctrl/Page icon, see the table at the beginning of this topic.
Use the Shift key on this keypad when you need to use key combinations that include the Shift key, such as
Ctrl+Shift. To tap a combination of these keys, such as Ctrl+Alt+Shift, rst tap the onscreen Ctrl key. After
the Ctrl key turns blue, tap the onscreen Alt key. After the Alt key turns blue, tap the onscreen Shift key. A
single onscreen key is provided for the key combination Ctrl+Alt+Del.
