I'm using Citrix in a browser, and within it, I have TigerVNC Viewer. During automation, I need to pass Alt+Tab to perform an action in my testing software, but it's causing tab switching instead.

It sounds like it is the Citrix web client that is switching away? That
would be a question for a Citrix forum and not here.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

It sounds like the key is passed to the browser, if it switching tabs.
In what way have you made sure it passes all the way through to the
TigerVNC viewer?

All other commands are functioning properly in the vncviewer, however, the Alt+Tab shortcut is switching between applications. I am using TigerVNC version 1.10.80. Could you kindly confirm if there is any issue with this version?

That is an old release, and a development version. It likely has many
issues that we've since fixed.

I still doubt an updated version will change anything, though, as
everything in your description points to this being an issue before the
TigerVNC client.
