I found a solution that works on Ubuntu 19.04...
- Note: This is only for media keys (the keybindings that stop working for
me)
- Note: If you know a better way to set the keybindings to disabled then
do that! ;)
Steps:
1) Open Terminal and enter:
"sudo apt install playerctl"
then to be sure run "restart"
1) Go to settings
2) Find keyboard shortcuts (devices > keyboard)
3) Find play-pause under media and set it to:
Ctrl+Shift+E or something you don't use (this is what I used)
Explanation: you need to disable these shortcuts to actually use them
(with playerctl)
(Do this for each predefined media key keybinding, when you do it'll
disable the last one
done and they'll all be set to disabled except for one which is set to
Ctrl+shift+E or
whatever you chose)
4) Scroll to the bottom
6) Create a new custom keyboard shortcut
7) Set the name according to which action you desire, set the command to
something similar to:
"playerctl pause-play --player=spotify" more documentation can be found
here:
https://github.com/altdesktop/playerctl
8) Repeat steps 5-7 for each media key & modify the command accordingly (see
Github link)
9) Create a new keyboard shortcut called deleteMe 1.0
10) Bind this to whatever you chose earlier (Ctrl+shift+E is what I used)
11) Now delete it! Ha, bet you didn't see that one coming! Anyways now all the
media keys above
should be set to disabled, now use your newly invigorated keybindings with
ease! ;)

Bug description:
*Impact
Hi,
Certain shortcuts randomly stops working in my computer. They are Super+s
(workspace switcher), Super+Up (switch to workspace above) and Super+Down
(switch to workspace below). Other shortcuts work fine.
*Test Case
A few notes that might help:
1- Reassigning shortcuts make them work again except for Super+s.
2- Rebooting make shortcuts work.
3- I have been using these shortcuts with many previous ubuntu versions and
my preferences are old.
4- I am not sure of certain steps that produces the problem. The shortcuts
sometimes stop working but once they stop, they do not work unless I reassign
them or reboot.
I am using Ubuntu 13.04.
Thank you
