I found the root cause. Unity uses legacy keygrabber code depending on xdg env variable DESKTOP_SESSION. But since artful DESKTOP_SESSION is "unity" and not "ubuntu".

The fix is in unity7-desktop ppa.

https://code.launchpad.net/~unity7maintainers/+archive/ubuntu/unity7-desktop

In 18.10, add the ppa (ppa:unity7maintainers/unity7-desktop)and upgrade unity-settings-daemon and libunity-settings-daemon.

Now all shortcuts works as expected.

Note: The ppa also the fix for sharing panel.
