Features that are supported on Windows desktops for Horizon Client for iOS have the following
restrictions.

The Left Handed Mode feature is iOS specific. If your remote desktop is configured so that the primary
and secondary mouse buttons are switched, use the Left Handed Mode feature. See “Configure
Horizon Client to Support Reversed Mouse Buttons,” on page 39.
n
Location-based printing is supported for Windows Server 2008 R2 desktops, RDS desktops (on virtual
machine RDS hosts), and remote applications only in Horizon Client 3.1 and later and Horizon 6.0.1
with View and later servers.
NOTE You can also use Horizon Client to securely access remote Windows-based applications, in addition
to remote desktops. Selecting an application in Horizon Client opens a window for that application on the
local client device, and the application looks and behaves as if it were locally installed.
You can use remote applications only if you are connected to View Connection Server 6.0 or later. For
information about which operating systems are supported for the RDS (Remote Desktop Sessions) host,
which provides remote applications and session-based desktops, see the View Architecture Planning
document.
For more information about these features and their limitations, see the View Architecture Planning
document.
External Keyboards and Input Devices
Horizon Client supports iPad Keyboard Dock and Apple Wireless Keyboard (Bluetooth).
The iPad Keyboard Dock external keyboard is automatically detected by Horizon Client. To use the Apple
Wireless Keyboard (Bluetooth) with a remote desktop, you must first pair the device with the iOS 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, either tap the screen with three fingers at the same time or tap the
Keyboard button in the Horizon Client interface tools.
