Hi @LeviZapanta
thank you for the detailed steps.
Regarding the PowerToys version number, the images embedded in your reply didn't get through. Can you just type the version number that is shown at the bottom of the PowerToys Settings general page?
Thank you.

My IT guys are telling me that Fancyzones (of PowerToys), is not compatible with Citrix Virtual Desktop. Is this true?

I have the same problem,

First I noticed that Citrix apps, don't move at all with win + arrow left/right
So I made a small change to my registry:

reg add "HKCU\Software\Citrix\ICA Client\Engine\Lockdown Profiles\All Regions\Lockdown\Virtual Channels\Keyboard" /v TransparentKeyPassthrough /t REG_SZ /d Remote /f

Then I tried overriding windows shortcuts in FancyZones settings:
"Override Windows Snap hotkeys (win+arrow) to move windows between zones"

And moving the Citrix app though the windows keys, they still don't snap to the fancy zones (They do to the normal windows 10 zones)

:(

I also have the same issue, using Citrix Reciever 4.9.2000.21 and PowerToys 0.14.1.0.
Is there plans to fix this?

@crutkas crutkas added this to the v1.0 Release milestone Apr 6, 2020

Since it's been added to the v1.0 milestone, I assume it'll be fixed eventually. Just thought I'd mention that it's still an issue on version 0.19.2, for documentations sake at the very least.

Is this still not working in 0.23? https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/download/v0.23.0/PowerToysSetup-0.23.0-x64.exe

Haven't had time to test, but I should have time tomorrow so long that I don't forget.

When I tested I could not snap a citrix virtualized app by manually doing so. Snapping by overriding the shortcut keys didn't work at all.

I think it is safe to assume the issue still persists.

@GreatestFool

@enricogior
Np. I don't really keep that updated on releases, so gimme me a heads up next time you need to verify if this is still an issue or not.

Windows build number: 2004 19041.572

Still doesn't work, FYI

Citrix and fancyzones is not working.
Why is this issue closed?

@GreatestFool

Because it is being tracked in issue #1466 like enricogior said a few comments earlier in this thread.

I know this issue is flagged as Resolution-External, but I've been doing some testing.

Both MaxTo and WinDock (which have similar features to FancyZones) work at least somewhat with citrix windows.

With MaxTo, they work with basic hotkeys (win-left/right to move between zones) but not some of the more advanced controls (e.g. ctrl-win-num4 to expand the left window boundary to the next snapping point). I suspect the latter issue is just due to Citrix catching the ctrl, which I believe can be adjusted with a registry edit. I have been successfully using this to do 3-way splits with citrix apps on my ultrawide monitor.

With WinDock, citrix apps seem to work when dragged into the appropriate zone. I haven't tested it as extensively as MaxTo yet, but will test more when my MaxTo trial period ends.

Not sure how either of these applications are accomplishing this, but it is evidence that it is possible. FancyZones could work with citrix apps without some kind of change on Citrix's side.

@ottothecow not for certain, but that WinDock app may be malware. I ran both of those through hybrid-analysis and MaxTo came out clean, WinDock did not. I would be cautious of WinDock.
