The RTL Client provides the following input methods:

• Tap / Swipe / Tap and Hold

  Either tapping the device screen with your finger or dragging the mouse cursor will control the device in the same way. Move the mouse cursor to a location on the screen that you would like to tap and then left click. Both the Swipe and Tap and Hold events can be executed the same way.

• Multi touch / Pinch to Zoom

  Hold down the Shift key and click the first coordinates, and click the second coordinates immediately. Then the multi touch events with the two coordinates would be transmitted to the remote device. You can transmit Pinch to Zoom events in the same way. Just drag your mouse at the second coordinates. The first coordinates is fixed in this case.
