Like others said, Command + (tilde, right above tab) will switch between windows of the same app. It's more useful in the fact that you can decide when you want to switch apps or same app windows. Unfortunately it does not switch between the current and last window of the same app you used, you'd have to cycle through.
Applicable Products
- Citrix Workspace App
- Citrix Receiver
Symptoms or Error
- Apps like Safari and Notes support multiple windows per app. The documentation only shows two ways to switch between these windows: From an open app: In the Dock, tap the app you want to view. Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen if you don’t see the Dock. From the Home Screen: Touch and hold the app you want to view, then tap Show All.
- Hold Command and tap Tab to display the app switcher, which lists open apps in order of recent usage. The app switcher stays open as long as Command remains held. The second app in the list (the one used prior to what you’re currently using) is selected by default. Release Command and you switch to that app.
Executing ALT+TAB keys, toggles opened applications on endpoint machine instead of Citrix Desktop session.

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.
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.
