I am unable to change or disable the "Move to workspace above/below" shortcuts in Gnome 3. If I change or disable the shortcut, I can still use Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down to switch workspaces. Another application (Eclipse) has shortcuts that clash with the default Gnome 3 shortcuts for switching workspaces, so I wish to disable the Gnome 3 shortcuts. This used to work in Fedora 18/Gnome 3.6 so it appears to be a regression. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): control-center-3.8.3-2.fc19.x86_64 gnome-settings-daemon-3.8.3-3.fc19.x86_64 gnome-settings-daemon-updates-3.8.3-3.fc19.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.8.3-3.fc19.x86_64 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Settings-->Keyboard-->Shortcuts-->Navigation 2. Disable shortcuts for "Move to workspace above/below" or change the shortcuts away from the defaults 3. Still able to use Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down to change workspaces
I had the same problem. The new keybinding you can define in 'Settings-->Keyboard-->Shortcuts-->Navigation' is appended to the previous/default one. for example: gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-down ['<Primary><Shift>Down', '<Control><Alt>Down'] I managed to remove the default keybinding using the following commands gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-down "['']" gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-up "['']" This clears all defined shortcuts for those tasks. And then just use 'Settings-->Keyboard-->Shortcuts-->Navigation' to define the desired shortcuts.
I had not figured out the workaround so this is extremely helpful! Thank-you, anonymous hero!
This is still a problem in F20
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.

This is still a problem in Fedora 26 beta. Also the workaround does not work. I have disabled the navigation shortcut to switch workspace. So this shortcut has no function anymore in Gnome but still this shortcut is "swallowed". Btw, I have disabled allmost all navigation shorcuts which have something to do with workspaces/windows.
I do not see a way to reopen this issue.
Still a problem on fresh installs of F26 -- still interferes with Eclipse's default shortcuts because it's impossible to unset the default gnome shortcut.
By default the switch workspace actions still have two shortcuts, but the gnome shortcut settings panel still only shows the first one in the list: $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-down ['<Super>Page_Down', '<Control><Alt>Down'] The workaround of clobbering these settings manually still works for me: $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-down "['<Super>Page_Down']" $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-up "['<Super>Page_Up']"
There seems to be an alias (On my old FC23 at least) switch-to-workspace-down/up _and_ move-to-workspace-down/up. These _both_ need to be cleared out via the workaround to make this all go away properly.

This is still a problem on FC27. I can't change the version though. $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-down ['<Super>Page_Down', '<Control><Alt>Down'] The second "ctrl-alt-down" isn't show in the ui, so even though you've disabled everything that was using the ctrl-alt-down, it's still broken. (and of course, same for up)

Looks still a problem in F28.

I can't speak for fedora 28, but on Fedora 29, this appears fixed, or at least, the original core of this issue. The keyboard shortcuts UI shows meta-pageup/down, and deleting those shortcuts (via backspace) successfully clears out the ctrl-alt-up/down shortcuts. There doesn't appear to be a way to leave meta-pageup/down in place and remove only the ctrl-alt-up/down shortcuts, but that can be a different bug if anyone cares about that.
