To enhance the virtualization experience, the default VMware Horizon View sessions use full-screen and span all monitors. To choose a different window size, select Full Screen - All Monitors under the protocol type of the desktop pool for the connection and then choose another option from the window size list. The next time you connect to a session the window will open in the selected size.

Using multi-monitor sessions with VMware Horizon View

VMware Horizon View supports multi-monitor sessions. To enhance the virtualization experience, the

default VMware Horizon View sessions use full-screen and span all monitors. To choose a different

window size, select

Full Screen – All Monitors

under the protocol type of the desktop pool for the

connection and then choose another option from the window size list. The next time you connect to a

session the window will open in the selected size.

Using keyboard shortcuts with VMware Horizon View

Windows keyboard shortcuts

To help administer Windows systems, VMware Horizon View supports Windows keyboard shortcuts.

For example, when

Ctrl

Alt

Del

is used, VMware Horizon View displays a message that provides the

following options:

●

Send a

Ctrl

Alt

Del

command.

●

Disconnect the session—Use this when you have no other way of ending the session.

Windows keyboard shortcuts will be forwarded to the remote desktop session. The result is that local

keyboard shortcuts, such as

session.

TIP:

To be able to switch sessions, disable the

Hide top Menu bar

option in the VMware Horizon
