New Mac mini user here. I'm using my previous PC keyboard. Is there an equivalent to the PC alt+tab keyboard combination that switches between windows? After a search I found something about command+tab performing this function, but, of course, there isn't a command key on a PC keyboard. Any way I can do this with my setup? Apr 13, 2018 I remote into my work PC (Win7 machine) using Citrix Receiver 11.8.2 for Mac OS X (Yosemite). I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014). Im trying to get the Alt-tab functionality to work inside my Citrix session, to switch between applications within Citrix. Currently, option-tab is simpl.
