The only conflict I've come across with Ctrl+Alt+left/right is in VLC.
VLC has a feature where the user can jump five minutes ahead/back in a
playing video by tapping Ctrl+Alt+right/left. But VLC's keyboard
shortcut configuration dialog easily allows the user to change this
combination to whatever they want. So not really a problem.

Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right/Up/Down was disabled?
Hi all,
I propose that the keyboard shortcut be changed back to Ctrl + Alt +
arrow keys since the new implementation Super + Shift + arrow keys
sometimes displays the keyboard shortcut overlay or the dash when you
try to switch workspaces. This can be fixed by modifying the delay
time etc...but why change something which ain't broken. Ctrl + Alt +
arrow has been used for a long time and is still in many distros.
Considering this is a LTS, this change will break that behavior which
is not recommended.

I realise that this combination has been switched over to the new
"Super+Shift+Left/Right/Up/Down" combination, but I don't
understand
why the existing one was broken in the process.
The bug report requesting the change,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/891757, says the
following:
"However where there is no conflict between the existing
keyboard
shortcuts and the new shortcuts, the existing shortcuts should
always
be preserved."
Given that the Ctrl+Alt+Arrow combination has been around for
years
and it works in every other distro I've ever used. I don't see
how the
Ctrl+Alt+Arrow combination could be a conflict for any other
function.
It seems like a stupid change which will annoy a lot of people,
particularly for an LTS...
There is a bug report about it:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/940085
It's also worth nothing, the new Super+Shift+Arrow combination is
broken for Super+Shift+Right for me:

Thanks,
