can press Command-W to close an individual application window and Command-S to save the current
le. You can also use standard Mac keyboard shortcuts to copy, cut, and paste text between your Mac
applications and remote applications. You can customize keyboard shortcut mappings. See “Create

If a remote application creates a Windows System Tray item, that item appears in the notication area
on the menu bar on your Mac client system. You can interact with this item from the notication area on
your Mac in the same way that you interact with it from the System Tray on a Windows system.
N When you reclick a redirected System Tray item in the notication area on your Mac, the context
menu does not disappear.
Use a Local IME with Remote Applications
When using non-English keyboards and locales, you can use an IME (input method editor) installed in the
local client system to send non-English characters to a remote application.
You can also use the Input menu in the menu bar on the Mac or keyboard shortcuts to switch to a dierent
IME. No IME is required to be installed in the server that hosts the remote application.
N On a Mac, an IME is referred to as an input source.
When this feature is turned on, the local IME is used. If an IME is installed and congured on the server that
hosts the remote application, that remote IME is ignored.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that one or more IMEs are installed in the client system.
n
Verify that View Agent 6.1.1 or later, or Horizon Agent 7.0 or later, is installed on the RDS host.
Procedure
1 In the desktop and application selection window of Horizon Client, Control-click a remote application
and select .
2 In the Remote Applications pane that appears, select the Extend the local IME to hosted applications
check box.
3 Use the local IME as you would with any locally installed applications.
The Input menu appears in the menu bar on your Mac client system. When you are using a remote
application, you can switch to a dierent language or IME by using the Input menu or keyboard shortcuts.
Key combinations that perform certain actions, such as Command-C to copy and Command-V to paste, will
still work correctly.
