Configuring the Client Clipboard Memory Size

You can configure the client clipboard memory size by creating a file named config in the %HomeDir%/Library/Preferences/VMware Horizon View/ directory on the Mac client.

To set the client clipboard memory size, add the following parameter to the config file.

mksvchan.clipboardSize=value

value is the client clipboard memory size in kilobytes. You can specify a minimum value of 512 kilobytes and a maximum value of 16384 kilobytes. If you specify 0, or do not specify a value, the default client clipboard memory size is 8192 kilobytes (8 MB).

A large clipboard memory size can negatively affect performance, depending on your network. Do not set the clipboard memory size to a value greater than 16 MB.
