Cannot set new short cut ctrl+shift+up

One of the default shortcut (ctrl+shift+up) of sublime text is not working after few debugging came to the conclusion that OS uses that shortcut hence sublime text cannot listen to that.

But I cannot find any shortcuts which using this ctrl+shift+up keys. So I decided to set a custom shortcut in Keyboards -> + -> custom shortcuts -> I cannot set these keys ctrl+shift+up as shortcut in Arch. Other keys like  ctrl+shift+down, ctrl+shift+right, ctrl+shift+left working fine but the only ctrl+shift+up makes the problem

Please help me to move forward! thanks in advance.

What does this mean? I have no such option on my Arch installation.

Hint - You should probably tell us more information about your system, for example what DE/WM you are running!!

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: Cannot set new short cut ctrl+shift+up

Is the combination recognized by xev?
Is it recognized in a non-gnome session (startx / xinit to xterm)?
Does showkey recognize it? (In a linux console, no X11 server)
