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 button 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, open Settings, tap Touch, and deselect the Windows native touch
gestures check box. If you are connected to a remote desktop or application in full-screen mode, tap the
Horizon Client Tools radial menu icon and tap the gear icon. If you are not using full-screen mode,
Settings is in the menu in the upper-right corner of the Horizon Client toolbar. If you are not connected to
a remote desktop or application, tap the gear icon in the upper right corner of the Horizon Client window.
Using the Unity Touch Sidebar with a Remote Desktop
You can quickly navigate to a remote desktop application or file from a Unity Touch sidebar. From this
sidebar, you can open files and applications, switch between running applications, and minimize,
maximize, restore, or close windows and applications in a remote desktop.
The Unity Touch feature is available only if a Horizon administrator has enabled it. If users have a floating
desktop, users’ favorite applications and files can be saved only if Windows roaming user profiles are
configured for the remote desktop. A Horizon administrator can also create a default Favorite
Applications list that end users see the first time the sidebar appears. For more information, see
"Configuring Unity Touch" in the Configuring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document.
If the Unity Touch feature is enabled, the sidebar appears on the left side of the window when you first
access a remote desktop.
