Horizon Client includes additional features to help you use remote desktops and published applications on your local client device. Configure Lock Key SynchronizationYou can configure Horizon Client to synchronize the toggle states of the Num Lock, Scroll Lock, and Caps Lock keys from the client system to a remote desktop by enabling a setting in Horizon Client. This setting is disabled by default. Share Local Folders and DrivesWith the client drive redirection feature, you can share folders and drives on the local client system with remote desktops and published applications. Open Local Files in Published ApplicationsYou can turn on the ability to open local files in published applications directly from the local file system. Copying and PastingBy default, you can copy and paste from the client system to a remote desktop or published application. Dragging and DroppingThe drag and drop feature works differently depending on how a Horizon administrator configures the feature. Share Location InformationWhen the Geolocation Redirection feature is enabled for a remote desktop or published application, you can share the client system's location information with the remote desktop or published application. Tips for Using Published ApplicationsPublished applications look and feel like applications that are installed on the local client system. When using published applications, follow these tips. Reconnect to Published Applications After DisconnectingRunning published applications can remain open after you disconnect for a server in Horizon Client. You can configure how running published applications behave when you reconnect to the server in Horizon Client. Use Multiple Sessions of a Published Application From Different Client DevicesWhen multi-session mode is enabled for a published application, you can use multiple sessions of the same published application when you log on to the server from different client devices. Use a Local IME with Published ApplicationsIf you use non-English keyboards and locales, you can use an IME (input method editor) that is installed in the local client system to send non-English characters to published applications. Use a Local IME with a Remote DesktopIf you use non-English keyboards and locales, you can use an IME (input method editor) that is installed in the local client system to send non-English characters to a remote desktop. Using the URL Content Redirection FeatureA Horizon administrator can configure URL links that you click inside a remote desktop or published application to open in the default browser on the local client system. The URL link might be to a web page, a phone number, an email address, or another type of link. This feature is called URL Content Redirection. Resizing the Remote Desktop WindowIf a Horizon administrator has locked the guest size, or if you are using the RDP display protocol, you cannot change the resolution of the remote desktop window. Sharing Remote Desktop SessionsWith the Session Collaboration feature, you can invite other users to join an existing remote desktop session. A remote desktop session that is shared in this way is called a collaborative session. The user that shares a session with another user is called the session owner, and the user that joins a shared session is called a session collaborator. Invite a User to Join a Remote Desktop SessionWith the Session Collaboration feature, you can invite users to join a remote desktop session by sending collaboration invitations by email, in an instant message (Windows remote desktops only), or by copying a link to the clipboard and forwarding the link to users. Manage a Shared Remote Desktop SessionAfter you send a session collaboration invitation, the Session Collaboration user interface turns into a dashboard that shows the current state of the shared remote desktop session (collaborative session) and enables you to take certain actions. Join a Remote Desktop SessionWith the Session Collaboration feature, you can click the link in a collaboration invitation to join a remote desktop session. The link might be in an email or instant message, or in a document that the session owner forwards to you. Alternatively, you can log in to the server and double-click the icon for the session in the remote desktop and application selector window.
