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.
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.
I To use the three-nger tap, make sure the iOS accessibility feature for zooming is turned o.
When the zoom accessibility feature is turned on, you zoom by double-tapping with three ngers, and
tapping once with three ngers does nothing.
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.
Onscreen Touchpad and Full-Screen Touchpad
The virtual touchpad can be either regular-size, to resemble a touchpad on a laptop computer, or full screen,
so that the entire device screen is a touchpad.
