Use a Local IME with Published Applications

When this feature is enabled, the local IME is used. If an IME is installed and configured on the server that hosts the published application, that remote IME is ignored. IME can only be used with published application sessions. It cannot be used with remote desktop sessions.

You can use the Input menu in the menu bar on the Mac or keyboard shortcuts to switch to a different IME. You do not need to install an IME on the server that hosts the published application.

Note: On a Mac, an IME is called an input source.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that one or more IMEs are installed in the client system.

Procedure

  1. Start Omnissa Horizon Client and connect to a server.

  2. In the desktop and application selection window, Control-click a published application and select Settings.

  3. In the Remote Applications pane, select the Extend the local IME to hosted applications check box.

  4. Use the local IME as you might use it with locally installed applications.

Results

The Input menu appears in the menu bar on the Mac client. When you use a published application, you can switch to a different language or IME by using the Input menu or keyboard shortcuts. Key combinations that perform certain actions, such as Command-C to copy and Command-V to paste, work correctly.
