@centurion, please take a look at this other thread.

How to enabling shift+alt+(arrow)down for coding? (copy down a code lines)

Hi, and welcome! That particular shortcut is already taken by the desktop environment which takes precedence over software-specific shortcuts. Normally, you should be able to override this in Settings -> Keyboard -> View And Customize Shortcuts -> Navigation. Unfortunately, for legacy reasons, that particular shortcut is technically active while not really in use (it's complicated). Long story short, you need to install something called dconf-editor and edit the shortcut from there. You can in…

The reason why this re-mapping is complicated is the same, and so is the solution. However, in this instance, overriding this shortcut has is slightly more involved.

1. you need to re-map an existing shortcut that normally displays the notification list. You can actually do this from Settings -> Keyboard -> View And Customize Shortcuts -> System -> Show the notification list. Double click on it, and press Backspace to remove the shortcut entirely.

   

2. Following the instructions from the thread I linked above, you should have dconf-editor already installed. Then, navigate to org -> gnome -> desktop -> wm -> keybindings -> show-desktop, uncheck the "Use default value" setting and update the field below with the shortcuts you want.

   

   As you can see in this screenshot I'm adding a new shortcut in addition to the ones that already exist. You can delete the rest or add whichever ones you want, but pay attention to the syntax as it needs to match exactly.

Enjoy!
