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.
In a remote desktop, if you tap and hold for a second, a magnifying glass appears, along with a mouse
pointer, for precise placement. This feature is especially helpful when you want to resize a window.
N If your remote desktop is congured for a left-handed user, see “Congure Horizon Client to
Support Reversed Mouse Buons,” on page 47.

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
buon.
n
On a touch screen, tap with two ngers at nearly the same time. The right-click occurs where the rst
nger tapped.
