Configure Horizon Client to Support Reversed Mouse Buttons
You can use the Left Handed Mode option if the primary and secondary mouse buons are switched in a
remote desktop.
If you set the mouse properties inside the remote desktop so that the primary mouse buon is the one on the
right side, as many left-handed people do, you must turn on the Left Handed Mode option in
Horizon Client. If you do not turn on this option when mouse buons are reversed, a single tap acts as a
click of the secondary mouse buon. For example, a single tap might display a context menu rather than
selecting something or inserting a cursor.

Copying and Pasting Text and Images
By default, you can copy and paste text from the iOS device to a remote desktop or application. If a Horizon
administrator enables the feature, you can also copy and paste text from a remote desktop or application to
the iOS device or between two remote desktops or applications. Supported le formats include plain text,
images, and Rich Text Format (RTF). Some restrictions apply.
A Horizon administrator can set this feature so that copy and paste operations are allowed only from the
iOS device to a remote desktop or application, or only from a remote desktop or application to the iOS
device, or both, or neither.
Data that you copy to the clipboard is automatically copied to the clipboard on the remote desktop when
you log in to the remote desktop. If you are logged in to a remote desktop, data that you copy to the
clipboard on the remote desktop is automatically copied to the clipboard on the iOS device. If RTF data
contains images, the images are lost when Horizon Client synchronizes the RTF data in the clipboard on the
remote desktop with the data in the clipboard on the iOS device.
Horizon administrators congure the ability to copy and paste by conguring group policy seings that
pertain to Horizon Agent. Depending on the Horizon server and agent version, administrators might also be
able to use group policies to restrict clipboard formats during copy and paste operations or use Smart
Policies to control copy and paste behavior in remote desktops. For information, see the Conguring Remote
Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document.
