You can drag the regular-size virtual touchpad to the side of the device so that you can use your thumb to
operate the touchpad while you are holding the device.
You can make the virtual touchpad resemble the touchpad on a laptop, including right-click and left-click
buttons. Tap to expand the Horizon Client Tools radial menu icon, tap the Settings (gear) icon, tap
Touch, and toggle the Full Screen Touchpad Mode setting to off.
To adjust how quickly the pointer moves when you use the touchpad, tap to expand the Horizon Client
Tools radial menu icon, tap the Settings (gear) icon, tap Touch, and drag the slider in the Touchpad
Sensitivity option.
You can also set the Full Screen Touchpad Mode and Touchpad Sensitivity settings from the
Horizon Client Settings window. Tap Settings at the bottom of the Horizon Client window and tap Touch
to display the touchpad settings.
If you are logged in to a remote desktop when you change the touchpad settings, your touchpad settings
are retained the next time you connect to the remote desktop or application from the same iOS device.
Gestures
VMware has created user interaction aids to help you navigate conventional Windows user interface
elements on a non-Windows device.
Clicking
As in other applications, you tap to click a user interface element.
In a remote desktop, if you tap and hold for a second, a magnifying glass appears, along with a mouse
pointer, for precise placement. This feature is especially helpful when you want to resize a window.
Note If the remote desktop is configured for a left-handed user, see Configure Horizon Client to Support
Reversed Mouse Buttons.
Right-Clicking
The following options are available for right-clicking:
n
Use the Horizon Client Tools to display the regular virtual touchpad and use the touchpad's right-click
button.
n
On a touch screen, tap with two fingers at nearly the same time. The right-click occurs where the first
finger tapped.
