User manual

If you are unable to paste all of the formaed text and images you selected in one operation, you might need
to copy and paste smaller amounts in each operation.
You cannot copy and paste les between a remote desktop and the le system on your client computer.
Configuring the Client Clipboard Memory Size
You can congure the client clipboard memory size by creating a le named config in the %HomeDir
%/Library/Preferences/VMware Horizon View/ directory on your Mac client system.
To set the client clipboard memory size, add the following parameter to the config le.
mksvchan.clipboardSize=value
value is the client clipboard memory size in kilobytes. You can specify a minimum value of 512 kilobytes and
a maximum value of 16384 kilobytes. If you specify 0 or do not specify a value, the default client clipboard
memory size is 8192 kilobytes (8 MB).
A large clipboard memory size can negatively aect performance, depending on your network. VMware
recommends that you do not set the clipboard memory size to a value greater than 16 MB.
