I've tried setting a custom shortcut for gnome-system-monitor on SHIFT+CTRL+ESCAPE because that's what I use on windows and I want it on ubuntu too. But it doesn't work. I tried setting the command, from settings-keyboard-shortcuts, as simply "gnome-system-monitor", then as "/usr/bin/gnome-system-monitor", and then tried setting it from compiz manager under commands. Nothing worked. My other shortcuts work (for example I have a shortcut of alt+win+f4 for poweroff). I have ubuntu 16.04 64-bit.

I found the problem. Something that has to do with ESC probably. I'm not sure but it is possible that can't be used in a shortcut. Or there is a problem with this specific combo, though I couldn't find any other shortcut that uses it which would be a problem.
I changed it to SHIFT+CTRL+HOME and it now works!
system settings --> keyboard --> shortcuts
