Capturing Keyboard Keys

The Anyware Software Client for macOS captures all keys and redirects them to the remote machine with the following exceptions:

  • Anyware Client short cuts appearing under the Connection and View menus.
  • Function Keys (F1 to F12) when in system mode.
  • The Eject and Power keys.

When the PCoIP Sessions starts, and the Anyware Client is the focused foreground application, all keys, apart from from those outlined above, will be redirected to the remote machine.

Enabling Accessibility

Enabling Accessibility Permissions for the Anyware Client

The Software Client for macOS must be granted the Accessibility permission in order to properly handle and transmit local keyboard actions. If the Software Client for macOS is not authorized, the keyboard will not function in a PCoIP session.

Overview

Anyware Software Client for macOS

Welcome to the Software Client for macOS Administrators' Guide.

Anyware Software Clients are applications that establish PCoIP sessions with remote Windows, Linux, or macOS desktops. Connections can be made to Anyware agents installed on virtual or physical machines, or to Remote Workstation Cards in physical workstations.

Using Mission Control

Mission Control in PCoIP Sessions

macOS provides a number of methods for activating Mission Control. Some of these methods are reserved by the Software Client for macOS to allow local use of Mission Control, and others are forwarded to the remote desktop, where the remote macOS system can use them.

Display Modes

Display Modes

When you connect to a PCoIP session, the Software Client for macOS shows your remote desktop as one or more displays. The number of displays it shows is constrained by your local system's available monitors (and the PCoIP protocol itself, which supports up to four monitors).
