User manual

In this example, modName is one of four modifier keys: ctrl, alt, shift, and super. The Super key is
keyboard-specific. For example, the Super key is usually the Windows key on a Microsoft Windows
keyboard but is the Command key on a Mac OS X keyboard. If you have Horizon View Client 2.3 or later,
you can also use <any> as a wildcard for modName. For example, <any>0x153 specifies all combinations of the
Delete key, including the individual Delete key for the US keyboard. The value you use for modName is not
case-sensitive.
Specifying the Scan Code for a Key in Horizon View Client 2.3 or Later
The scanCode value must be in hexadecimal format. To determine which code to use, open the appropriate
language- and keyboard-specific file in the lib/vmware/xkeymap directory on your client system.
The following list shows the example contents of a /etc/vmware/view-keycombos-config file. Code
comments are preceded by the # character.
<ctrl>0x152 #block ctrl-insert
<alt>15 #block alt-tab
<Ctrl><Alt>0x153 #block ctrl-alt-del
<any>0x137 #block any combinations of the Print key
0x010 #block the individual Q key in a US English keyboard
#or block the individual A key in a French keyboard
0x03b #block the individual F1 key
0x04f #block the individual 1 key in a numeric keypad
Specifying a Key Name in Horizon View Client 2.2
The keyName value is case-sensitive and can be any of the following: the numbers 0 through 9, the function
keys F1 through F12, lowercase or uppercase letters A through Z, or any of the other keys in the list that
follows.
