How do I move window to specific workplace via keyboard?
In 11.11 keyboard settings there are Move window to workspace N options (N is the workspace number). But they do not work.
Is there a way to bind key for moving window to a specific workspace/viewport?
That's either a bug or a consequence of a tweaked environment.

select system settings -> keyboard -> shortcuts -> navigation.
Move Window one workspace to the [direction] should be defined. If it is and
you're still having problems then try resetting unity to defaults.
To reset unity to it's defaults: unity --reset:

Once that's done: CTRL+ALT+SHIFT [ARROW] will take the active window and place
it on the desktop you're pointing to. CTRL+ALT [ARROW] just switches the
current desktop.
UPDATE:
After clarifying the bug with the user. I found out that this is actually a known bug.

It looks like it's getting lost in the wishlist status. I would recommend filing a new bug to bring fresh attention to it. I agree that it's a bug. If it isn't an option then it should be removed from Navigation shortcuts to begin with. I think I will to, this would be very useful.
