Using Mac Mini OS 10.14.6. with Cinema display (#1) and LG 24MDKL (#2)
Both monitors work fine when using Mac OS, but when I log-in using voc.xxxx.com, the LG display goes dark and all I can see is my mouse when I move to the screen.
I can not drag any windows over to the LG monitor. When I click the Citrix icon at the top of the screen on the primary monitor, as in image below it opens another session, for me to log-in, but when I try to drag to the other monitor it just bounces back to the primary monitor.
- Citrix Remote Access on Mac Whether you are working remotely or onsite, Citrix on Mac is handled in the same way. Unlike in our Windows environment, it is preferable and easier to access apps through the Citrix Workspace Program directly rather than through the web browser.
- On your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, click Sharing, then select Remote Login. Open the Remote Login pane of Sharing preferences for me. Select the Remote Login checkbox. Selecting Remote Login also enables the secure FTP (sftp) service. Specify which users can log in.

Understanding Keyboard Input To Virtual Desktops
By default, when you use a virtual desktop all key presses are directed to it (not the local computer) with the following exceptions:
- Windows logo key+L is directed to the local computer.
- CTRL+ALT+DELETE is directed to the local computer except in some cases if you use the Citrix Desktop Lock.
- Key presses that activate StickyKeys, FilterKeys, and ToggleKeys (Microsoft accessibility features) are normally directed to the local computer.
- As an accessibility feature of the Desktop Viewer, pressing CTRL+ALT+BREAK displays the Desktop Viewer toolbar buttons in a pop-up window.
- Windows key combinations (for example, CTRL+ESC and ALT+TAB) are directed according to the settings that your help desk has selected.
Citrix Plugin For Mac
Note: By default, if the Desktop Viewer is maximized, ALT+TAB switches focus between windows inside the session. If the Desktop Viewer is displayed in a window, ALT+TAB switches focus between windows outside the session.
Hotkey sequences are key combinations designed by Citrix. For example, the CTRL+F1 sequence reproduces CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and SHIFT+F2 switches applications between full-screen and windowed mode. You can use hotkey sequences with virtual desktops in many, but not all, setups. For example, they work with your hosted applications.
