Flashing Windows taskbar items are forwarded to Horizon Client. For example, if the remote
application is an IM client and you receive a new message, a flashing red dot appears on the IM client's
icon in the Dock.
n
You can start voice dictation, minimize, and zoom a remote application from the menu bar.
n
You can use the Exposé feature to see open remote applications, and you can press Command-Tab to
switch between open remote applications.
n
You can use standard OS X keyboard shortcuts to interact with remote applications. For example, you
can press Command-W to close an individual application window and Command-S to save the current
file. You can also use standard OS X keyboard shortcuts to copy, cut, and paste text between your OS X
applications and remote applications. You can customize keyboard shortcut mappings. See “Configure
Keyboard Shortcut Mappings,” on page 29.
n
If a remote application creates a Windows System Tray item, that item appears in the notification area
on the menu bar on your Mac client system. You can interact with this item from the notification area
on your Mac in the same way that you would interact with it from the System Tray on a Windows
system.
NOTE When you re-click a redirected System Tray item in the notification area on your Mac, the
context menu does not disappear.
Use a Local IME with Remote Applications
When using non-English keyboards and locales, you can use an IME (input method editor) installed in your
local system to send non-English characters to a remote hosted application.
You can also use the Input menu in the menu bar on your Mac or keyboard shortcuts to switch to a different
IME. No IME is required to be installed in the remote RDS host.
NOTE On a Mac, an IME is referred to as an input source.
When this feature is turned on, the local IME is used. If an IME is installed and configured on the RDS host
where the remote application is installed, that remote IME is ignored.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that one or more IMEs are installed in the client system.
n
Verify that View Agent 6.1.1 or later, or Horizon Agent 7.0 or later, is installed on the RDS host.
Procedure
1 In the desktop and application selection window of Horizon Client, Control-click a remote application
and select Settings.
2 In the Remote Applications pane that appears, select the Extend the local IME to hosted applications
check box.
3 Use the local IME as you would with any locally installed applications.
The Input menu appears in the menu bar on your Mac client system. When you are using a remote
application, you can switch to a different language or IME by using the Input menu or keyboard shortcuts.
Key combinations that perform certain actions, such as Command-C to copy and Command-V to paste, will
still work correctly.
