Objective
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.
Instructions
Complete the following procedure to customize keyboard shortcuts for menu items of Receiver for Mac:
- Open System Preferences on the Macintosh computer.
- Navigate to Keyboard preference pane and select the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
- Select Application Shortcuts.
- Select + located in the right list box.
- Select Other from the list for Application.
- In the dialog press Shift, Command, and G simultaneously to open the Go To Folder page.
- In the Go To Folder page, type /Applications/Citrix Receiver.app/Contents/Helpers/.
- Click Go.
- Select Citrix Viewer.app and click Add.
- Type the exact name of the Send Key menu item to add, for example INSERT in the Menu Title field.
- Type the shortcut key you are using.
- Click Add.

- Command, Ctrl, and D combination is the Mac OS X system-defined shortcut for Dictionary lookup, and cannot be used as an application shortcut.
