VMware Horizon View sessions use full-screen and span all monitors. To choose a dierent window size,

VMware Horizon View keyboard shortcuts
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.
VMware Horizon View multimedia redirection
VMware Horizon View connections support MMR functionality when used with the Microsoft RDP protocol.
For more information, see RDP multimedia redirection on page 22.
