Touch and mobility support
Support for Touch
Citrix Workspace app for ChromeOS now enhances touch support by allowing you to run sessions on touch-enabled Chrome devices in tablet mode. This feature includes support for gestures, multi-touch, and soft keyboard functionality.
The Open keyboard icon now appears on the session toolbar when a Chrome device is in tablet mode. When you use this feature or do a three-finger tap, the soft keyboard appears.
When you launch a session in a touch-enabled device, the gestures by default are handled in panning mode. You can switch to multi-touch mode using the toolbar. This feature provides a better user experience.
Gesture enhancements on touch devices
Starting with the 23.4.0 release, Citrix Workspace app enhances end user experience related to gestures, multi-touch, and soft keyboard functionality (Tablet mode). In your Citrix Workspace app sessions, you can use all the familiar multi-touch gestures, including the tap, swipe, and drag.
Following is the gesture guide:
| To do this: | On Citrix Workspace app, do this: |
|---|---|
| Single click | One-finger tap |
| Right click | Touch-hold-release |
| Open the on-screen keyboard | Three-finger tap (or from the toolbar, tap Keyboard icon) |
| Drag | Touch, hold, and slide |
| Enable cursor | Two-finger tap |
Automatic Keyboard display
For the first time users, you can enable automatic keyboard display on a server by using the floating keyboard button that appears in the input field. For the consecutive uses, the keyboard appears automatically.
Feature limitations:
-
Doing a three fingers tap to fetch the soft keyboard does not work in multi-touch mode. It works only in panning mode.
-
For the soft keyboard to work properly, always close it using the Open Keyboard icon on the session toolbar rather than the system-soft keyboard. If you close the soft keyboard using the system-soft keyboard, the soft keyboard might behave unexpectedly.
