Option Description
TIP: HP recommends increasing the timeout value for networks that experience
frequent busy periods or momentary outages.
Error Timeout Specifies the amount of time in seconds after receiving the last network traffic from
the server that the client waits before stopping attempts to reconnect with that server.
NOTE: See Common connection settings on page 25 for information about the settings available on
the final page of the VMware Horizon View Connection Manager.
Using multi-monitor sessions with VMware Horizon View
VMware Horizon View supports multi-monitor sessions. To enhance the virtualization experience, the
default VMware Horizon View sessions use full-screen and span all monitors. To choose a different
window size, select Full Screen – All Monitors under the protocol type of the desktop pool for the
connection and then choose another option from the window size list. The next time you connect to a
session the window will open in the selected size.
Using keyboard shortcuts with VMware Horizon View
Windows keyboard shortcuts
To help administer Windows systems, VMware Horizon View supports Windows keyboard shortcuts.
For example, when Ctrl+Alt+Del is used, VMware Horizon View displays a message that provides the
following options:
●
Send a Ctrl+Alt+Del command.
●
Disconnect the session—Use this when you have no other way of ending the session.
Windows keyboard shortcuts will be forwarded to the remote desktop session. The result is that local
keyboard shortcuts, such as Ctrl+Alt+Tab and Ctrl+Alt+F4, will not function while inside the remote
session.
TIP: To be able to switch sessions, disable the Hide top Menu bar option in the VMware Horizon
View Connection Manager or via the registry key root/ConnectionType/view/connections/
<UUID>/hideMenuBar.
Media keys
VMware Horizon View uses media keys to control options such as volume, play/pause, and mute
during a remote desktop session. This supports multimedia programs such as Windows Media
Player.
Using Multimedia Redirection with VMware Horizon View
VMware Horizon View connections support MMR functionality when used with the Microsoft RDP
protocol.
For more information, see
