I am looking for an apple script to keep my Citrix Viewer alive when I am doing research. Currently, if the session has no activity for a set time, it will go to the Citrix sign in page. Looking for a simple script to send a keystroke every few minutes to a session, and repeat until I terminate the script. Any help with this is appreciated.

Conceptually simply, but the devil is in the details, specifically how the application responds to random keystrokes, but here's a starter:
on idle
tell application "System Events"
keystroke return
end tell
return 5 * minutes
end idle
Paste this into a new Script Editor document and save it as an application with the 'Stay open' option selected.
Now when you run it, it will automatically simulate a 'return' keypress every 5 minutes until the app is quit.
You may need to refine it to target only CitrixViewer, or it may be sufficient as-is.
