Bug Description

Good day, I tried to set Ctrl+Alt+D as my custom key binding to the All Settings / Keyboard / Shortcuts / Navigation / "Hide all normal windows" setting. The setting is accepted, however the setting is ignored and nothing happens when I press Ctrl+Alt+D - Ctrl+Win+D continues to work. I am attaching a screenshot of the setting. Thank you.
This is kind of weird because my other custom key bindings (prev/next song, launch terminal with Shift+F2 etc) are working correctly.

What is worse, the keyboard layout switch button does not work: the default value is Win+Space which does not work. I tried to set it to Alt+LShift but it does not work either.

I can confirm this. I like to have my key binding to "F11" (don't ask me why, I just got used to it), but it doesn't work there, for me it is still on Super+D.

I can confirm this too.
The shortcut only works once. I have to reboot or relog to make it work again. And then, too, it only works once before it breaks up again.

Seems to be the same issue than :

Affects me too. Is there any workaround? Some dconf setting which will swap Super-D to something else?
