Multi-touch support

The multi-touch support feature in Citrix Workspace app for Linux supports multi-touch devices. This feature allows devices to receive input from the touch screen. The input includes touch gestures and interactions using a pen or a stylus device. You can interact with multi-touch screens while using apps or desktops in an HDX session. The supported actions and corresponding gestures on the touch screen are the following:

  • Select an item: Tap on the touchpad.
  • Scroll: Place two fingers on the touchpad and slide horizontally or vertically.
  • Zoom in or out: Place two fingers on the touchpad and pinch in or stretch out.
  • Show more commands (similar to right-clicking): Tap the touchpad with two fingers, or press in the lower-right corner.

Known limitation:

  • Doesn’t support session reliability, which means no touch event cache is stored.
  • Doesn’t support on Linux VDA.

Note:

The preceding options might vary based on the Windows version that you are using.

Known issues:

  • Multi-touch isn’t supported on multi-monitors for which the display mode is set as Join Displays (extended mode). [HDX-52394]
  • You might not be able to press a finger on the screen and hold it on the ASUS touch screen. [HDX-52521]
