Depending on your remote connection's settings, such key combinations may not pass - may instead be executed locally, but you should see the language in which it appears to know which one is it.

Ah, shades of what I occasionally run into at work on occasion. There are times where I'm asked to help configure a computer that is configured in Chinese. Don't speak a word of it, and can only read tiny bits of it here and there (and that's only because Japanese language uses some Chinese ideograms -- and admittedly my Japanese language reading skill is limited to about grade school level). Most of the time I'm going by the context of various screens I'm navigating and familiarity with what the configuration screens are like in Windows.
