Hello,
fresh install Ubuntu 18.04 here.

# Bug description
When I try to change shortcuts in "Settings > Devices > Keyboard > Keyboard 
Shortcuts", some specific key combinations don't take any effect. For example:

- CTRL+ALT+LEFT
- CTRL+ALT+RIGHT
- PrtSc

No mather what action I put these combinations to, the action is not run
when the combination is pressed.

# Workaround:
1) You have to disable some stuff with console magic like this:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-left "[]"
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-right "[]"
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys screenshot ''

2) Now you can finally change the shortcuts in "Keyboard Shortcuts"
settings.

# The final thoughts
I understand there is some high-level technology why some shortcuts are 
hard-wired to Ubuntu with "gsettings". But this high-level technology makes 
"Keyboard Shortcuts" settings not working as every average user expects. Making 
using Ubuntu experience painfull.
