Extended keyboard enhancement

The extended keys on Citrix Workspace app for iOS toolbar let you use more keys within your session. The end user can select the keys for quick action.

Starting with the 23.5.0 version, this functionality is enhanced to provide a better user experience. The following are the enhancements:

  • Pin or unpin the extended toolbar UI.
  • Rotate the extended toolbar in sync with screen rotation.
  • Support Windows icon key, and 3-key combination shortcuts.
  • Improve experience in multiple monitor use case scenarios.
  • Auto open or collapse the extended toolbar UI.
  • Improve the experience for Stage Manager mode (on iPad with M1 chip).

The extended keyboard toolbar has two different modes:

Extended Keyboard modes

  • 1 - Extend keys mode: tap the Extend key icon to view the additional keys or key combination shortcuts. These keys might not exist on the iOS device keyboard.
  • 2 - Buffer input mode: tap the Buffer input key icon (T) to start typing.

Note:

If you use a hardware keyboard, the soft toolbar appears when you tap the Keyboard icon on the session toolbar.
