@JoshuaBesneatte Yes that's work. The problem as I described I can't assign the shift button to any shortcut – abd3lraouf May 09 '18 at 21:18

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.
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
- 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.
