Dell ThinOS 2402 Administrator’s Guide

Enable keyboard layout mode

1. On the ThinOS client, open Admin Policy Tool or go to the ThinOS 9.x policy settings on Wyse Management Suite.
2. On the Advanced tab, expand Session Settings, and click Citrix Session Settings.
3. In the Basic Settings section, select one of the following options from the Keyboard Layout Mode drop-down list.
   • Server Default—ThinOS allows VDA users to use the VDA-side default keyboard when logging in or reconnecting to VDA. The VDA-side default keyboard is the default setting in ThinOS. Any keyboard layout change on the client side is not synchronized to the VDA session.
   • Specific Keyboard—ThinOS allows VDA users to use a specific keyboard when logging in or reconnecting to VDA. Any keyboard layout change on the client side is not synchronized to the VDA session. Ensure that you select a specific keyboard on the ThinOS client before configuring the Admin policy tool or the Wyse Management Suite policy. If not selected, you must reboot the thin client to synchronize the specific keyboard into VDA.
   • Client Setting—ThinOS allows VDA users to synchronize only the VDA-side keyboard with the client-side default keyboard when logging in or reconnecting to VDA. Any keyboard layout change on the client-side is not synchronized to the VDA session.
   • Dynamic Sync—ThinOS allows VDA users to synchronize the VDA-side keyboard with the client-side default keyboard dynamically in the VDA session. When the VDA user changes the client keyboard, the VDA keyboard is synchronized automatically in the session. You must configure both the client and VDA-side settings to enable this mode.
4. Click Save & Publish.
   From ThinOS 2402 and Citrix Workspace App 2311, the Citrix VDI Configuration Editor is not required to configure the Citrix keyboard Server default mode and Dynamic Sync mode. All the Citrix keyboard layout modes can be configured through the Keyboard Layout Mode setting in Session Settings > Citrix Session Settings.
