I texted York’s support team for this Citrix environment. Copy and paste: a (work-intensive) workaround Given how frequently I use this basic feature, to have it blocked was frustrating. That means I ought to be able to copy things from one application and paste them to another, something computer users the world over have been doing for decades. Nothing works.Īs with Windows applications, I treat Citrix-hosted apps as windows on my Mac. I tried drag-and-drop, keyboard shortcuts, the context-sensitive menu.


I could not copy text from a web browser on my Mac to an application that’s hosted using Citrix Viewer. Thanks to the deep dive I’m taking into Studio, I’m getting more familiar with Citrix. York hosts Studio via WebFAS, its online portal handled by Citrix Receiver (which handles the overall virtual computing environment) and Citrix Viewer (part of Citrix Receiver, which handles individual applications). This summer, I’m pursuing certification on SDL Trados Studio 2017, software used in the translation industry. in Translation – French to English – at York’s Glendon College.) By hosting the software on its servers, York makes it possible for students to access it without extra cost (beyond tuition fees) so they can use it for class assignments. I use it to access software provided by York University for student use. Whether you use Windows or a Mac the work environment appears as intended (usually Windows) on your computer as a window into another computer.Ĭitrix is one of the more popular “tunnels” people use to turn their computers into terminals. Do you have an office job that lets you work remotely? If you do, chances are you work not so much on your computer as you do through a secure “tunnel” into your company’s servers.
