Escape from Citrix VDI (SHIFT + F2) (ALT+CTRL+TAB)

When I'm in a banking customers Citrix VDI on my work (IT Company) laptop, it's like I'm in some kind of thin client mode. There is no bar at the top of the screen to escape from the Citrix VDI and return to my work laptops desktop. But there is a keypress which works 😊:

SHIFT + F2

The above one only worked when I was connected to an external screen. When I was accessing the Citrix VDI with laptop screen only, this worked:

ALT+CTRL+TAB

I came across this post here that had some other interesting stuff:
