Parallels Workstation for Windows supports Citrix remote access tools. If the support is set, Citrix ICA Client will intercept most of the standard hot key presses and send them to Parallels Workstation instead of primary Windows OS. It allows using Ctrl+Alt
to switch between applications inside Windows guest OS, press Win
key to open Start menu, etc.
Note: Linux version of Parallels Workstation does not support Citrix.
Parallels Workstation includes special .dll
libraries to be installed on both server and client sides.
