Configure Horizon Client to Support Reversed Mouse
Buttons
You can use the Left Handed Mode option if the primary and secondary mouse buttons are switched in a
remote desktop.
If you set the mouse properties inside the remote desktop so that the primary mouse button is the one on
the right side, as many left-handed people do, you must turn on the Left Handed Mode option in
Horizon Client. If you do not turn on this option when mouse buttons are reversed, a single tap acts as a
click of the secondary mouse button. For example, a single tap might display a context menu rather than
selecting something or inserting a cursor.

Copying and Pasting Text and Images
By default, you can copy and paste text from the iOS device to a remote desktop or application. If a
Horizon administrator enables the feature, you can also copy and paste text from a remote desktop or
application to the iOS device or between two remote desktops or applications. Supported file formats
include plain text, images, and Rich Text Format (RTF). Some restrictions apply.
A Horizon administrator can set this feature so that copy and paste operations are allowed only from the
iOS device to a remote desktop or application, or only from a remote desktop or application to the iOS
device, or both, or neither.
Data that you copy to the clipboard is copied to the clipboard on the remote desktop when you log in to
the remote desktop. If you are logged in to a remote desktop, data that you copy to the clipboard on the
remote desktop is copied to the clipboard on the iOS device. If RTF data contains images, the images are
lost when Horizon Client synchronizes the RTF data in the clipboard on the remote desktop with the data
in the clipboard on the iOS device.
