External Keyboards and Input Devices

For information about the devices that a specific tablet supports, see the documentation from the tablet

manufacturer.

External keyboards are sometimes automatically detected by Horizon Client. For some external

keyboards, you must either tap the tablet screen with three fingers at the same time, or you must tap the

Keyboard icon. If you are using a remote desktop or application in full-screen mode, the Keyboard icon

is in the Horizon Client Tools radial menu. If you are not using full-screen mode, the Keyboard icon is on

the Horizon Client toolbar.

Note On Kindle Fire tablets, tapping with three fingers does not display the onscreen keyboard. You can

instead use the Keyboard icon to display the onscreen keyboard.

After the external keyboard is detected, you might not be able to use the Horizon Client Tools or three-

finger tap to display the onscreen keyboard. You might first have to deactivate the external keyboard by

pressing its Eject key.
