This is how you setup Wacom pen pressure sensitivity and full Flame hotkey support from Windows and Mac Teradici PCoIP Software Clients. If your F13/F14/F15 hotkeys don’t work, it because of this, not because of any other Mac OS setting or Karabiner or Mac or Windows preferences.
Basically, the Teradic PCoIP Software Client needs a bunch of USB and secret sauce root-level schtuff to be able to give the entirety of the device to your Host machine. On Windows, its super easy, you just install the PCoIP Software Client and you have automatically gain access to the USB Devices menu where you can assign local machines to, quite literally, “become remote devices.” Because Windows.
On the Mac, you don’t even know its an option because you not only have to grant it permission upon install, it won’t offer you the choice to gain permission to assign your USB devices to your Host because…dun dun dun…csrutil! ARGH!!! You’ll need to boot into recover mode, open a terminal, type ‘csrutil disable’ and reboot. (Apple csrutil disable procedure here) Then upon reboot, reinstall the Teradici PCoIP Software Client, and at the end you will receive a little pop up asking you something something USB Permission something something. Approve that. Then and only then will USB Devices become visible for you to choose.
Now, the hard part is, once you assign a local device over to your host, IT DON’T WORK ON YOUR LOCAL DEVICE NO MORE! In other words, assign your mouse to your host? Great, now your mouse won’t do a darn thing except within the PCoIP Software Client application. You won’t be able to use your mouse to click on any application that is on your client machine, only your host. So, you should have an extra keyboard and an extra mouse available…one set for Host control, one set for client control.
The OTHER fecking frustrating thing about all of this, is the Teradici will tell you Mac Big Sur isn’t supported because somethign something security risk something something csrutil something something. It works. They just won’t risk the legal mumbo jumbo on having you bypass security procedures to use their product. Which, I get. Kinda. Not really. Oh well.
At the end of the day? Seriously. If you are going to spend any extended length of time on a Teradici, do yourself a favor and spend $600 on a Tiny P330/340 or Intel NUC or anything with a tiny Nvidia card in it to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu so you can have easy Teradici access and HP Z Remote Boost with pen pressure sensitivity on the Ubuntu side.
What a time to be a Flame Artist.TM
