Alt+1 should be sent to the remote Windows as Alt+1 and not as '¡'. If I am remoted to Windows, my keyboard should behave like a windows keyboard and all the OS X shortcuts should be disabled. So question is, is full keyboard interception planned in Citrix Receiver? If Virtual Box can do it, then surely OS X allows it. If using native OS X Citrix client Alt+1 becomes special symbols like '¡', I can forget about things like Ctrl+Alt+right, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S etc.Īnd even when I connect a Windows keyboard to the Mac it's actually treated as a normal Windows keyboard in my configuration. And I need a lot of shortcuts - those developers using IDEs can understand me. Change focus to the OSX desktop (cmd -tab) Then click on the active Citrix Ciewer in the dock. Why? Because in such configuration *all* the keyboard shortcuts work. Keyboard would not work on a Citrix receiver session. This is because the Option and Command key combination is passed or sent to the session as an Alt key. For example: You cannot create a shortcut key containing Option and Command key.
In order to work remotely on a windows machine from an OS X, I run Citrix Client for Windows in Windows XP running in Oracle Virtual Box. Macintosh or Citrix Receiver has reserved certain keys and key combinations.
