Using an External Keyboard
Horizon Client automatically detects the iPad Keyboard Dock external keyboard. To use the Apple
Wireless Keyboard (Bluetooth) with a remote desktop or application, you must first pair the keyboard with
the client device. After you pair the keyboard with the iPad, make sure that you do not have the onscreen
keyboard in split keyboard mode when you attempt to make the iPad detect the Bluetooth keyboard. To
make the client device detect the wireless keyboard, tap the screen with three fingers at the same time, or
tap the Keyboard button in the Horizon Client Tools.
Also with the Apple Wireless Keyboard (Bluetooth), after the external keyboard is detected, you cannot
use the Horizon Client Tools or three-finger tap to display the onscreen keyboard. You must first
deactivate the external keyboard by pressing its Eject key.
Note The Apple Wireless Keyboard (Bluetooth) does not input the Japanese full-width tilde correctly in
remote desktops.
International Keyboards
You can input characters for English, Japanese, French, German, Simplified Chinese, Traditional
Chinese, Korean, and Spanish.
Use an English keyboard on the iOS device with a remote desktop that uses a Korean or Japanese input
method editor (IME). If you use a Korean or Japanese keyboard on the iOS device and you connect to a
remote desktop that uses a Korean or Japanese IME, the remote desktop Windows IME English/Korean
or English/Japanese mode is not synchronized with the iOS keyboard locale.
Enable the Japanese 106/109 Keyboard Layout
If you are connected to a Windows XP desktop, you can configure Horizon Client to use the Japanese
106/109 keyboard layout.
Prerequisites
Use Horizon Client to connect to a Windows XP desktop that has the Japanese keyboard layout enabled.
Procedure
1 Use the Horizon Client Tools to display the Options dialog box.
2 Tap to toggle the Japanese 106/109 Keyboard option to on.
This setting is disabled if the keyboard layout on the Windows XP desktop is not set to Japanese.
This setting is hidden if the desktop is not running Windows XP.
3 Tap Done.
