Missing shortcuts for moving window to workspace right or left

[Luis Arias]

After upgrading to groovy, I can no longer move windows between workspaces to the right or left. Both the "Move window one workspace right" and "Move window one workspace left" commands are missing from the list. (See attached screenshot).

I was able to resolve the issue following the instructions here:

Considering the fix of bug #1762952, Alt+Shift shouldn't be set automatically in connection with a 20.04 -> 20.10 upgrade. Any chance you can elaborate on which steps you took?

It looks like the keyboard options for move-to-workspace-left/right were hidden in Gnome 3.28 onward.

    data: Don't expose horizontal workspace keybindings to Settings

    Given that GNOME has used a vertical workspace layout ever since 3.0,
    allowing users to assign keyboard shortcuts for horizontal workspace
    navigation isn't useful at all, as rightfully pointed out by Bastien
    Nocera.

BUT, the internal settings still exist. You can get to them with the 'gsettings' command and:

org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings move-to-workspace-right

org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings move-to-workspace-left
