Solution
- Close Citrix Remote Desktop, if it is already running.
- In our local machine, go to ‘Regedit’ and open ‘TransparentKeyPassthrough’. Set the value to ‘Remote’ and close.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SOFTWARE → Citrix → ICA Client → Engine → Lockdown Profiles → All Regions → Lockdown → Virtual Channels → Keyboard]
- Login to the usual Citrix page. Before clicking on the ‘Remote Desktop’, check the ‘Preferences → Session Settings’. Choose ‘Fullscreen’ from dropdown.
- Click ‘Remote Desktop’ now.
- Login to the Remote Desktop
- You should see a blue bar at the top.
- If you don’t see it, press Ctrl + Alt + PAUSE. Now you should see the blue bar.
- Try Alt + TAB, and you should be able to scroll through the open applications within remote desktop. Also, this enables you to save screenshots in the remote itself.
- If you want to maximize the screen even more, Press Shift + F2.
- To revert, you can press the same key combinations again.
Problem
I am using Citrix Access Gateway to connect to a Remote Desktop and I am not able to find a way to switch between open applications. When I press 'Alt + Tab' it comes out of the remote desktop. I mean, the whole remote desktop is getting considered as 1 open application. Is there any other keyboard shortcut to switch between open applications inside Citrix?
