Copying and Pasting Text

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 display protocol or the PCoIP display protocol.

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.
