This article describes how to customize keyboard shortcuts for menu items of the Receiver for Mac.

Background

Citrix Receiver for Macintosh requires substitution of special keys for certain commands from a Macintosh keyboard to be used properly within a remote Windows session. Refer to Citrix eDocs - Improving the user experience in Receiver for Mac for more information.

New versions of Macintosh keyboards might not contain certain keys that are used by default for substitution. For example, sending the INSERT key to a session requires the HELP key on the keyboard, which no longer exists on newer keyboards such as MacBook Air laptops.

The function key and other special keys can be used within a session using the Keyboard menu of the Receiver. This can become a cumbersome task if certain keys are used very frequently during daily tasks. Another option is to use the System Preferences of Mac OS X to create your own shortcut keys for specific functions available in the application menu of Receiver.

Note: This functionality does not work with Receiver for Mac software release earlier than 11.4. Macintosh or Citrix Receiver has reserved certain keys and key combinations.
For example:

• You cannot create a shortcut key containing Option and Command key. This is because the Option and Command key combination is passed or sent to the session as an Alt key.
• Command, Ctrl, and D combination is the Mac OS X system-defined shortcut for Dictionary lookup, and cannot be used as an application shortcut.

• Receiver for Windows

Objective

As a Receiver administrator, you can configure Receiver for Windows 4.x to automatically place application and desktop shortcuts directly in the Start menu or on the desktop .

Alternatively, where you have large numbers of applications that would clog the Start Menu or you have users wanting to choose their favorite applications, you can configure Receiver for Windows to enable the user to select the applications they want to see in their Start menu.

This article describes the general steps to configure Receiver to Application Shortcuts where you might want them. Detailed instructions can be found at Citrix eDocs - Configure Receiver for Windows​

A user has to subscribe an application if they want it to be present as desktop shortcut . To subscribe all the applications disable the self service mode. In this mode all apps are subscribed automatically. This disables the SelfService UI and all apps are subscribed automatically.

To subscribe specific applications ,administrator can use KEYWORDS in the application properties from Studio.

Instructions

1. Receiver 4.5 and newer has a user interface for setting Shortcut Paths. Right-click the Receiver icon, click Advanced Preferences, and then click Settings Option.

2.From Citrix Docs Configuring application delivery: There are several methods of controlling how Receiver displays shortcuts on the Start Menu and Desktop as detailed below:

• Receiver Registry values
• receiver.admx GPO Template
• From StoreFront in C:inetpubwwwrootCitrixRoamingweb.config
• Published App Keywords (e.g. prefer or mandatory).
• Receiver 4.5 and newer supports published app Delivery configuration for adding the shortcut to the desktop. This only works if the app is a Favorite, or if Favorites are disabled, or Mandatory Store.

3.Under HKLMSoftwareWow6432NodeCitrixDazzle (or HKCUSoftwareWow6432NodeCitrixDazzle) are several registry values related to shortcuts. Some of the settings only apply if SelfServiceMode is set to False. Here are some common options:

• SelfServiceMode – set to False so Receiver disables the Self-Service interface and automatically places all published shortcuts on the Start Menu and/or Desktop. More details in Configuring application delivery at Citrix Docs.
• PutShortcutsOnDesktop – set to True to place every app on the desktop
• DesktopDir – Receiver places every shortcut on the desktop so it’s probably best to place them in a folder.
• StartMenuDir – If there is potentially a conflict between local apps and remote apps, then you should place the Start Menu shortcuts in a folder.

4.If you import the receiver.admx (and .adml) into the PolicyDefinitions folder, under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Citrix Components > Citrix Receiver is a new node called SelfService.

Disable the Manage SelfServiceMode setting to hide the Receiver Window.
Enable the Manage App shortcut setting to control placement of shortcuts.
