User manual

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.
By default the feature is turned off. Whenever you change the setting to turn the feature on or off, you must
disconnect from the server and log in again before the change can take effect.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that one or more IMEs are installed in the client system.
n
Make sure that the input language on your local client system matches the language used in your IME.
The input language on the RDS host is not applicable.
n
Verify that the remote desktop has View Agent 6.0.2, or Horizon Agent 7.0 or later, installed.
Procedure
1 In the desktop and application selector window of Horizon Client, right-click a remote application and
select Settings.
2 In the Remote Applications pane that appears, select Extend the local IME to hosted applications
check box and click OK.
3 Restart the session by using one of the following options:
Option Description
Log off of the server
Disconnect from the server and then log in to the server again and connect
to the application again. You can resume your applications, which were
disconnected but not closed, as were any remote desktops.
Reset the applications
Right-click a remote application icon, select Settings, and click Reset.
Using this option, if you have any remote desktops open, they are not
disconnected. All the remote applications are closed, however, and you
must start them again.
The setting takes effect only after you restart the session. The setting applies to all remote hosted
applications on the server.
4 Use the local IME as you would with any locally installed applications.
The language designation and an icon for the IME appear in the notification area (system tray) of your local
client system. You can use hot keys to switch to a different language or IME. Key combinations that perform
certain actions, such as CTRL+X for cutting text and Alt+Right Arrow for moving to a different tab, will still
work correctly.
NOTE On Windows 7 and 8.x systems, you can specify hot keys for IMEs by using the Text Services and
Input Languages dialog box (available by going to Control Panel > Region and Language > Keyboards and
Languages tab > Change Keyboards button > Text Services and Input Languages > Advanced Key
Settings tab).
Enabling Support for Onscreen Keyboards
You can configure your client system so that if a Horizon Client window has focus, then physical keyboard,
onscreen keyboard, mouse, and handwriting pad events are sent to the remote desktop or remote
application, even if the mouse or onscreen keyboard is outside of the Horizon Client window.
This feature is especially useful if you are using an x86-based Windows tablet, such as a Windows Surface
Pro. To use this feature, you must set the Windows Registry key EnableSoftKeypad to true. The location of
this key depends on the type of system:
