N You can also use Horizon Client to securely access remote Windows-based applications, in addition
to remote desktops. Selecting an application in Horizon Client opens a window for that application on the
local client device, and the application looks and behaves as if it were locally installed.
You can use remote applications only if you are connected to Connection Server 6.0 or later. For information
about which operating systems are supported for the RDS host, which provides published applications and
published desktops, see the View Installation document.
Feature Support for Linux Desktops
Some Linux guest operating systems are supported if you have View Agent 6.1.1 or later or Horizon Agent
7.0 or later. For a list of supported Linux operating systems and information about supported features, see
the Seing Up Horizon 6 for Linux Desktops or Seing Up Horizon 7 for Linux Desktops document.
External Keyboards and Input Devices
Horizon Client supports the iPad Keyboard Dock and Apple Wireless Keyboard (Bluetooth) external
keyboards. Horizon Client supports Apple Pencil as a pointer device on iPad Pro and the Swiftpoint GT
mouse on any iOS device that the Swiftpoint GT mouse supports.
Using an External Keyboard
Horizon Client automatically detects the iPad Keyboard Dock external keyboard. To use the Apple Wireless
Keyboard (Bluetooth) with a remote desktop or application, you must rst pair the keyboard with the client
device. After you pair the keyboard with the iPad, make sure that you do not have the onscreen keyboard in
split keyboard mode when you aempt to make the iPad detect the Bluetooth keyboard. To make the client
device detect the wireless keyboard, tap the screen with three ngers at the same time, or tap the Keyboard
buon in the Horizon Client Tools.
Also with the Apple Wireless Keyboard (Bluetooth), after the external keyboard is detected, you cannot use
the Horizon Client Tools or three-nger tap to display the onscreen keyboard. You must rst deactivate the
external keyboard by pressing its Eject key.
N The Apple Wireless Keyboard (Bluetooth) does not input the Japanese full-width tilde correctly in
remote desktops.
Using the Swiftpoint GT Mouse
Horizon Client automatically detects the SwiftPoint GT mouse. To use the Swiftpoint GT mouse with a
remote desktop or application, you must rst pair the mouse with the client device. After you pair the
mouse with the device, mouse actions are redirected to remote desktops and applications that you open
with Horizon Client.

Korean, and Spanish.
