Ctrl + Alt+ right/left is not consistent


Left Ctrl key opening help and right Ctrl key prints “x”Switching between workspaces from workspace switcher windowAlt+Ctrl behavior different from Ctrl+Alt?Mapping left Ctrl + right Ctrl to switch-windowsDiagonal switching to the top-left workspace doesn't workCCSM: How to add mouse-binding for moving a window within wall(Left) CTRL + right arrow not working in Ubuntu 14.04Why my active window minimizes when I switch to next work space?“Switch to workspace left” etc shortcut not workingHow move window to left/right workspace

The keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+right/left does two different things:




  1. If I have no windows selected, it changes workspace


  2. If I select a window, it takes the window to the half right/ left of the screen.



I would like to have Ctrl+Alt+right/left, just switching workspaces, but I can't find a way. I have tried to edit the keyboards shortcuts menu, but it seems the only assigned action to that key combination is to switch workspaces:
