You can copy and paste text to and from remote desktops and published applications. A Horizon administrator can configure this feature so that copy and paste operations are allowed only from the client system to a remote desktop or published application, or only from a remote desktop or published application to the client system, or both, or neither.

Copying and pasting from the client system (where Horizon Client is installed) to a remote desktop or published application, and conversely, is the same as copying and pasting between applications on the same system. For example, you can press Ctrl+C to copy text and press Ctrl+V to paste text.

This feature is available if you use the VMware Blast or PCoIP display protocol.

A Horizon administrator can configure the ability to copy and paste by using group policy settings that pertain to Horizon Agent for remote desktops and published applications. For more information, see the Configuring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon document.

You can copy text from Horizon Client to a remote desktop or published application, or the reverse, but the pasted text is plain text.

You cannot copy and paste graphics. You also cannot copy and paste files between a remote desktop and the file system on the client computer.
