Overview

To date, the client IME user interface (including the composition window and candidate window) was positioned in the upper left corner of the screen. It did not follow the cursor and sometimes was located far from the cursor in the text input area:

Citrix enhances usability and further improves the seamless experience with the client IME as follows:

Note:

The feature is available for RHEL 7.x, CentOS 7.x, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, and SUSE 12.x. It is supported on Citrix Workspace app for Windows and for Mac.

To use the feature in RHEL 7.x desktop sessions, you must enable IBus. For example, set the user interface language to one that requires an IME to input, or add GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus to the ${HOME}/.config/imsettings/xinputrc file.

The feature installs automatically, but you must enable the feature before you can use it.

Enable and disable the feature

The feature is disabled by default. Use the ctxreg utility to enable or disable the feature. The feature configuration on a given Linux VDA applies to all sessions on that VDA.

To enable the feature, run the command:

/opt/Citrix/VDA/bin/ctxreg update -k "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\LanguageBar" -v "SyncClientIME" -d "0x00000001"

To disable the feature, run the command:

/opt/Citrix/VDA/bin/ctxreg update -k "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\LanguageBar" -v "SyncClientIME" -d "0x00000000"
