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.

Instructions

Complete the following procedure to customize keyboard shortcuts for menu items of Receiver for Mac:

  1. Open System Preferences on the Macintosh computer.

  2. Navigate to Keyboard preference pane and select the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.

  1. Kontakt library mac torrent. Select Application Shortcuts.

  2. Select + located in the right list box.

  3. Select Other from the list for Application.

  4. In the dialog press Shift, Command, and G simultaneously to open the Go To Folder page.

  5. In the Go To Folder page, type /Applications/Citrix Receiver.app/Contents/Helpers/.

  6. Click Go.

Additional Resources

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.

Numeric keypad mappings

Use the standard numerical keys beneath the Function keys for numerical entry on the Apple Wireless Keyboard. Apple external keyboards with built-in numeric keypads provide the same function as Microsoft-compatible numeric keypads.

If your keyboard isn't working

Boot Camp installs Windows support software (drivers) that let you use features of Apple keyboards in Windows. If your keyboard works when your Mac is started in macOS but not Windows, try reinstalling Windows support software from Boot Camp Assistant.
