Installation and Setup Guide

The language designation and an icon for the IME appear in the notication area (system tray) of your local
client system. You can use hot keys to switch to a dierent language or IME. Key combinations that perform
certain actions, such as CTRL+X for cuing text and Alt+Right Arrow for moving to a dierent tab, will still
work correctly.
N On Windows 7 and 8.x systems, you can specify hot keys for IMEs by using the Text Services and
Input Languages dialog box (available by going to Control Panel > Region and Language > Keyboards and
Languages tab > Change Keyboards  > Text Services and Input Languages > Advanced Key
 tab).
Enabling Support for Onscreen Keyboards
You can congure the local client system so that if a Horizon Client window has focus, then physical
keyboard, onscreen keyboard, mouse, and handwriting pad events are sent to the remote desktop or remote
application, even if the mouse or onscreen keyboard is outside of the Horizon Client window.
This feature is especially useful if you are using an x86-based Windows tablet, such as a Windows Surface
Pro. To use this feature, you must set the Windows Registry key EnableSoftKeypad to true. The location of
this key depends on the type of system:
n
For 32-bit Windows: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client\
n
For 64-bit Windows: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client\
Resizing the Remote Desktop Window
If you drag a corner of the remote desktop window to resize it, a tooltip displays the screen resolution in the
lower-right corner of the window.
If you are using the VMware Blast display protocol or PCoIP display protocol, the tooltip changes to show
dierent screen resolutions when you change the size of the desktop window. This information is useful if
you need to resize the remote desktop to a specic resolution.
You cannot change the resolution of the remote desktop window if an administrator has locked the guest
size or if you are using the RDP display protocol. In these cases, the resolution tooltip shows the initial
resolution.
Monitors and Screen Resolution
You can extend a remote desktop to multiple monitors. If you have a high-resolution monitor, you can see
the remote desktop or application in full resolution.
The All Monitors display mode displays a remote desktop window on multiple monitors. The remote
desktop window appears on all monitors by default. You can use the selective multiple-monitor feature to
display a remote desktop window on a subset of your monitors.
If you are using All Monitors mode and click the Minimize buon, if you then maximize the window, the
window goes back to All Monitors mode. Similarly, if you are using Fullscreen mode and minimize the
window, when you maximize the window, the window goes back to Fullscreen mode on one monitor.
If you have Horizon Client use all monitors, if you maximize an application window, the window expands
to the full screen of only the monitor that contains it.
Supported Multiple Monitor Configurations
Horizon Client supports the following multiple monitor congurations.
n
If you use two monitors, the monitors are not required to be in the same mode. For example, if you are
using a laptop connected to an external monitor, the external monitor can be in portrait mode or
landscape mode.
