How move window to left/right workspace

Question

OS: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
DE: Gnome 3.28.1

I switch from Unity to Gnome with new LTS Ubuntu.

In "old-new" GUI, i found that by default we don't have horizontal workspaces, and must move between workspaces only in vertical order.

I fixed it with gnome-shell-extension "Workspace Grid". Changed necessary shortcuts to switch workspace (view).

But in Gnome-keyboard settings no shortcuts for move Application's Window (not view) left/right workspace (not monitor).

How can I change this?

As workaround solution I guess only using shortcuts to move window to concrete workspace.

In Settings > Devices > Keyboard > Navigation section

I don't have necessary shortcuts preferences

Use gsettings, not dconf, see this. e.g.

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings move-to-workspace-right "['<Shift><Ctrl><Alt>Right']"

etc

I had the same issue. Found the settings for this using dconf-editor, under

org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/move-to-workspace-left and
org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/move-to-workspace-right.

The default keybindings are ctrl+alt+shift+left and ctrl+alt+shift+right but you can change them to whatever you like.

Check your keyboard settings panel. Here's a snapshot of how it looks in 17.10, and you may just have to re-enable them in 18.04.

In Ubuntu, I switched vertical workspace to horizontal using Gnome Horizontal workspaces Extensions. Now my default Gnome shortcut keys are:

Shortcut	Action
`Ctrl` + `Alt` + `Shift` + `→`	Move Window To Right Side Workspace
`Ctrl` + `Alt` + `Shift` + `←`	Move Window To Left Side Workspace
`Ctrl` + `Alt` + `→`	Switch To Right Side Workspace
`Ctrl` + `Alt` + `←`	Switch To Left Side Workspace

In Ubuntu 18.04, I found that the shortcuts are Super+Left and Super+Right.
