Keyboard settings

The keyboard layout synchronization feature lets you switch among keyboard layouts on the client device. This feature synchronizes the client keyboard layout to the server. This feature provides you with the following options: • Allow dynamic sync - Synchronizes the client keyboard layout to the server when you make any changes. When selected, this option also enables the client IME for East Asian languages. Selecting Yes for this option overrides the following two options. • Sync only once – when session starts – Synchronizes the client keyboard layout to the server when the session launches. Any changes you make to the client keyboard layout during the session do not take effect immediately. To apply the changes, log off and log back on. • Don’t sync - Indicates that the client uses the keyboard layout present on the server. This policy is not configured by default. When you disable this policy, the client keyboard layout is synchronized to server only when the session is launched.
