I currently use shortcuts Super+F1 to Super+F6 to switch over my six workspaces. It was possible in Ubuntu 16.04 (System -> Keyboard -> Navigation) but in 18.04, we can define shortcuts for only 4 wokspaces by default.
How can I increase this default workspaces number in shortcuts parameters ?

First, you will need to increase the number of static workspaces. You can do that on the "Workspaces" tab in GNOME Tweaks (not installed by default). You can also use the terminal to change that configuration:
These commands disable dynamic workspaces, and set the number of workspaces to 6.
You then can set hotkeys to switch to any workspace including workspaces higher than four, using
dconf-editor
, or, much more convenient in this case, using the terminal.These two comments will set up Super+5 to move to workspace 5, and Super+Shift+5 to move a window to workspace 5. Replace
workspace-5
byworkspace-6
and higher to set for higher
