Window Resizing
If you use the full screen touchpad to resize a window, touch and hold one nger at the corner or side of the
window and drag to resize, or double-tap with one nger and then drag.
If you use the regular-size virtual touchpad, to simulate holding down the left-click buon while dragging
the corner or side of a window, double-tap with one nger and then drag.
If you are not using either type of virtual touchpad, tap and hold until the magnifying glass appears at the
corner or side of the window. Move your nger around until the resizing arrows appear. Lift your nger o
the screen. The magnifying glass is replaced by a resizing circle. Tap this resizing circle and drag it to resize
the window.
Sound, Music, and Video
If sound is turned on for your device, you can play audio in a remote desktop.
Using Native Operating System Gestures with Touch Redirection
You can use native operating system gestures from a touch-based mobile device when you are connected to
a Windows 8, Windows 10, or Windows Server 2012 remote desktop, or to a remote application that is
hosted on Windows Server 2012. For example, you can touch, hold, and release an item on a Windows 8
desktop to display the item's context menu.
When touch redirection is enabled, you can use only native operating system touch gestures. Horizon Client
local gestures, such as double-click and pinch, no longer work. You must drag the Unity Touch tab buon to
display the Unity Touch sidebar.
Touch redirection is enabled by default when you connect to a Windows 8, Windows 10, or Windows Server
2012 remote desktop, or to a remote application that is hosted on Windows Server 2012.
To disable touch redirection, tap  at the boom of the Horizon Client window, tap Touch, and toggle
the Windows Native Touch Gestures seing to o. If you are connected to a remote desktop or application,
you can access seings by tapping the  (gear) icon in the Horizon Client Tools radial menu.
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.
The clipboard can accommodate a maximum of 1 MB of data for copy and paste operations. If the text and
RTF data together use less than maximum clipboard size, the formaed text is pasted. Often the RTF data
cannot be truncated, so that if the text and formaing use more than the maximum clipboard size amount,
the RTF data is discarded, and plain text is pasted. If you are unable to paste all of the formaed text you
selected in one operation, you might need to copy and paste smaller amounts in each operation.
