XenDesktop How to synchronize input language between Mac and Windows?

Question

Virtualization

Greetings!
There is a workplace with Mac OS 10.13.xx. There is a remote workstation with Windows 7. Connection is via citrix receiver for mac (v 12.9.0 52). On the Windows side, xen desktop version (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix) shows 5.0.
And there is a problem that insanely infuriates:
Both Mac and Windows have 2 keyboard input languages: Russian and English. And different combinations of the active language on the part of the poppy and Windows give different effects:
=====
MAC: EN, WIN: EN -> Win language is English. Things are good. Hotkeys (cmd+A, cmd+c, etc) work, letters/numbers are entered normally. Keyboard layout (. , % ^) in place (as drawn on the mac keyboard)
MAC: RU, WIN: EN -> Input language for Win Russian. Hotkeys do not work , and they do not work through cmd and through ctrl. The keyboard layout goes astray (becomes not mac)
MAC: EN, WIN: RU -> Input language for Win Russian. Hotkeys work. The keyboard layout goes astray (becomes not a mac).
MAC: RU, WIN: RU -> Introductory language in Win Russian. Hotkeys don't work. The keyboard layout is correct (mac).
=====
As a result, you can normally work only with English and with Russian in combination MAC: EN, WIN: RU, but without a normal layout.
With this approach in Win, you have to use the system hotkey for switching the language, which is confusing.
Ideally, I would like to work in the same way as when starting VDI from Windows: the input language is synchronized both on the host side and on the virtual machine side.
Has anyone been able to fix the problem? The second day I google, nothing helps.

Answer 2

I also struggled with the problem of hotkeys with the Russian layout, as a result I settled on this option (But on Win10, I don’t know if it will work on Win7):
You need to configure language switching on the remote Windows instead of switching the layout.
Go: all options -> advanced keyboard settings -> keyboard shortcuts for input languages ​​-> change keyboard shortcuts -> set ctrl + shift to change language, not change layout.
After that, you need to switch the language in Windows with a combination of ctrl + shift. (Or command + shift) Mac should always have Eng.
This does not sync the language between macos\win, but allows Windows hotkeys to work properly in both languages

Answer 3

Hey! Absolutely the same situation as yours, tell me, did you manage to somehow completely synchronize languages ​​+ working hotkeys?

Answer 4

It is necessary to download and install the layout with the name of Ilya Birman and everything will work, I additionally corrected this layout for myself through the uklele program. Instead of ? put an end to the macbook. And the question is entered with the option pressed.
