I used to use CTRL+Super+arrow to resize my windows to a particular side of the screen. But since a fresh install this doesn't work any more. Has anything changed? I cannot remember manually adding these shortcuts.

1Did you change to a different version / flavor of Ubuntu? What version / flavor are you using now? (And which were you using before if you changed?)– Zanna ♦Mar 22, 2018 at 14:06

1Would it be that you need to install Compiz Config Settings Manager?– DK BoseMar 22, 2018 at 16:31

My problem was just a switch on the keyboard that was in "Gaming Mode". Anyway sometimes this issue comes from another problem so here i explain how to fix this issue :
In terminal :
dpkg --get-selections | grep -i compiz
sudo apt-get install compiz compiz-core compiz-gnome compiz-plugins-default compizconfig-settings-manager libcompizconfig0 python-compizconfig --reinstall
This will fix most issues with keyboard shortcuts.
Sometimes you still have keyboard/shortcuts issues. Then there are few options left:
1. First Start with Unplugging your keyboard and plug it back in.
2. Reinstall/Reinitialize your keyboard layout :
In terminal :
sudo apt-get install console-data
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data
Or use :
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
Through the graphical interface :
- Click the Settings menu > System Settings:
- Next, go to Personal > Text Entry:
- Click the + button to choose a new layout:
3. Use onscreen keyboard to test if the shortcuts work there :
You can think why not try this first ? Well basically because this is not the first thing that comes up when my keyboard don't work since it should work.
In terminal type:
onboard
Through the graphical interface :
- Click the Settings menu > System Settings.
- Next, go to System > Universal Access.
- Select the Typing tab, and then switch the On-Screen Keyboard option to ON.
