Using a Thin Client
How you interact with Windows user interface elements when Horizon Client is installed on a thin client
depends on the thin client model and the external input device you are using with the thin client. For more
information, see Using Horizon Client on a Thin Client.
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.
