Hi there, thanks so much for sharing this! I haven’t tried it but it looks great!
I’ve been livings with whatever Citrix on my Mac has to offer for my connection to a Win virtual machine, until I’ve realized what brought me here actually… Namely, how to emulate Win+Tab? With that checkbox “Send Windows logo…” selected, I can indeed trigger the Win/Start button alone on the remote Windows box, but… whenever I follow up with the Tab, the Mac’s standard App Switcher kicks in!!! This happens despite I’m inside a Citrix session/connection. Almost as if that Cmd+Tab (that should be translated to Win+Tab when reaching the Windows box via Citrix) was never making past Mac OS that happily launches its App Switcher first and doesn’t bother passing it on to Citrix. Note: in Windows 10, Win+Tab is a different story than Alt+Tab, so this is actually a very relevant case… (Alt+Tab works flawlessly for me).
Any ideas how to get hold of/transmit Win+Tab without the Mac’s App Switcher “intercepting” it, please?
I’ve done some research, and it looks like there’s no way of telling Mac OS to change the keyboard shortcut that launches the App Switcher, it’s gotta be Cmd+Tab, apparently … I’ve also tried disabling that checkbox mentioned above and send “Windows logo key” by mapping some other key (e.g. left shift) to left_gui and/or right_gui (which, according to some folks on the internet, should correspond to the Win key on a Windows machine), but this didn’t work either, and I always end up with the App Switcher overtaking. Also, disabling Cmd+Tab conditionally only in Citrix - i.e. mapping the combination to a virtually key None - is pointless, because while it doesn’t trigger the Mac’s App Switcher in Citrix indeed, it doesn’t trigger just anything (tightly so, it’s mapped to a None after all…)
Hi! This is awesome thanks! Any idea how to use ALT for other shortcut functions? E.g. Excel Group / Ungroup shortcut is ALT+SHIFT + Left/Right Arrow - This doesn't seem to work anymore once I updated my mac and trying to map it from the windows keyboard to citrix receiver.
Hi! can you help me make it work?
My issue is I use left control instead left command in my mac
but after that, left control become a Win button in citrix. But it has to work like a control!
so ctrl+c/ctrl+V is not working
I need a rule when left control will work in citrix like in mac..

Hi there. So I am new to the Macos world, coming from 20+ years of Windows dev. I am using Citrix daily for work and thank you for the wonderful scripts above, massive help.
However, within Macos I have switched the Command/Control keys to make it more Windows (damn muscle memory). When I do this, it throws off the commands within Citrix (Left Control key is what is triggering Windows start button, not the windows key).
Therefore I am wondering is there a way to update the JSON files to account for the Control/Command swap within Macos?

You might try to update the value of key_code value in from and reload the rules in Karabiner. Here is a list of key codes: https://github.com/JoshuaManuel/Karabiner-Elements-Key-List
Mapping a mapped key sounds fragile, but will probably work.

I have same question
I have a question on the Alt function. It seems that after applying this script, my "Alt" gets triggered if I hold down the Option button but not as a single click. For example, when I am in Excel on Citrix, I would normally run Excel shortcuts by clicking Alt + X + X (i.e. Alt-H-I-C to add a new column). However, because I have to hold Option for Alt to trigger, I can't run these shortcuts. Any advice on how to make this work?
This is beautiful, chef's kiss. Makes using Citrix on my Mac so much nicer. I find it best to just double tap the window so it's maximised but not fullscreen and then it's easy to hop around in and out the session.
Makes me actually want to use my MacBook for programming on the go through Citrix. The only criticism I have is for Citrix themselves not offering all this functionality as standard through their app.

I realize it's been almost a year since you asked this, but I had the exact same issue. I solved it by removing the , "fn" modifier from lines #38 and #62 in the gist above. I also never needed to add the rule called "add fn modifier to tab so it is forwarded". I've made these edits in a forked gist to make your life easier in case you're interested
FYI I have also add a few rules under "Simple modifications" which make life easier. Here's a screenshot in case you'd like to copy them:

Can't you just use Cmd+Tab to alt-tab out of the full screen Citrix window and Option+Tab as "Alt+Tab" within Citrix? That's how I roll

Yeah, I have it setup to work that way too and it's nice. For whatever reason I still just keep it as a maximised window, I like having the Mac top toolbar visible. Also respect for responding to the year old query of the other guy ;)
If OP sees this then again, chef's kiss, I daily your config for work purposes.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Straightforward instructions and worked first time! Looking forward to using my Mac for my day job now! :D
What key combination gets a '#' please?
I've been able to workaround the above by disabling the rules for the right hand side of the keyboard and using opt + 3 as normal.
I am struggling to get the equivalent of hodling ALT and selecting text to select a rectangular block. Using my mapped to alt opt key results in a right click most of the time (I have seen it do a block select twice and I can't figure out why). Any ideas?
Is there any way to restrict these key maps to Citrix? I am also seeing these changes throughout MacOS.
@den3erw Yes you can limit this to just Citrix. In the scripts you will see the following:
"conditions": [
{
"type": "frontmost_application_if",
"bundle_identifiers": [
"^com\.citrix\.XenAppViewer$",
"^com\.citrix\.receiver\.icaviewer\.mac$"
]
}
]
Struggling to have these key binds work for me. I'm running Sequoia 15.1, Karabiner Elements 15.3, Citrix Workspace 24.09.054. I have a MX Keys device with the LHS keys labeled as following: Ctrl, Option/Start, Command/Alt. My Mac keyboard settings are all default. I've tried enabling both key order types (separately) and have the right options ticked in Workspace. Also did a full restart.
What gives? Has anyone else faced this problem before? Really appreciate any help or tips.
Update: I didn't turn on the Device in settings. First time using Karabiner. Works like a charm - thanks!
The workaround I have is I use Right-Shift+I for chrome inside MacOS, so I normally switch to that to get out of Citrix and then Alt-Tab works fine. Also, for frequently used MacOS apps, I have a number of Right-Shift shortcuts like that, this minimizes the need for having alt-tab altogether.
