I've Ubuntu 18.04 LTS freshly installed on my machine and I can't assign shift+ctrl+alt + arrows to change workspaces just like unity.

I had that working fine in Ubuntu 16.04 Gnome, I just switched to 18.04 and noticed that.

It seems that input switching "Alt+Shift" conflicts with creating shortcuts desired for moving windows to new workspace.

  1. Disable "Alt-Shift"

    sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool

Open Tweaks -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Additional Layout Options -> Switch to another layout -> (uncheck Alt+Shift and choose a different combo if you need)

Reference: Switching to another layout

  1. Change combinations to Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Arrow In keyboard settings -> Under "Navigation" -> Move window one workspace up/down -> Set shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+up/down)

Note: Perhaps people with single input language won't notice this if the system is not configured for multiple input methods.
