4 Close the Preferences dialog box.
Your keyboard shortcut mapping changes take effect immediately. You do not need to restart open
remote desktops or applications to see the changes take effect.
Considerations for Mapping Operating System Keyboard
Shortcuts
Mac and Windows both include default keyboard shortcuts. For example, Command-Tab and Command-
Space bar are common keyboard shortcuts on Mac systems and Ctrl+Esc and Alt+Enter are common
keyboard shortcuts on Windows systems. If you attempt to map one of these operating system keyboard
shortcuts in Horizon Client, the behavior of the shortcut on your Mac client system and in the remote
desktop or application can be unpredictable.
n
If you map a keyboard shortcut, how the shortcut behaves on your Mac client system depends on
how the operating system manages the shortcut. For example, the keyboard shortcut might trigger an
action in the operating system and Horizon Client might not respond to the shortcut. Alternatively, the
keyboard shortcut might trigger an action in both the operating system and Horizon Client.
n
Before you map a Mac keyboard shortcut in Horizon Client, you must disable the shortcut in System
Preferences on your Mac client system. Not all Mac keyboard shortcuts can be disabled.
n
If you map a Windows keyboard shortcut in Horizon Client, the mapped action occurs when you use
the shortcut in the remote desktop or application.
n
For remote applications, Windows shortcuts that include the Windows key are disabled by default and
do not appear on the Horizon Client Keyboard Preferences dialog box. If you create a mapping for
one of these disabled keyboard shortcuts, the shortcut appears in the Keyboard Preferences dialog
box.
For a list of the default Mac keyboard shortcuts, go to the Apple support website
(http://support.apple.com). For a list of the default Windows shortcuts, go to the Microsoft Windows
website (http://windows.microsoft.com).
Modify the Horizon Client Mouse Shortcut Mappings
You can configure a single-button Apple mouse to send a right-click and a middle-click to remote
desktops and applications. You can modify, enable, or disable the default mouse shortcut mappings. You
cannot create new mouse shortcut mappings or delete the default mouse shortcut mappings.
Procedure
1 Select VMware Horizon Client > Preferences and click Keyboard & Mouse.
2 Select the Mouse Shortcuts tab.
