I got used to splitting my application windows on monitor into 4 sides top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right with key combinations like Ctrl+Alt+Key3 and so on.
It no longer works with Ubuntu 18.04. Is there any alternative for that with Ubuntu 18.04?

you can also just use unity & compiz in 18.04 if desired. Works fine, Installubuntu-unity-desktoppackage. Best with lightdm rather than gdm3

On login you can technically choose "compiz/Unity" still, does that work?

Ubuntu 18.04 dropped support for the Unity desktop compositor in favour of GNOME Shell. GNOME Shell is incompatible with Compiz. You need to look for a method to replicate this behaviour using GNOME Shell and its extensions or install and use an unofficial, community-supported version of Unity.
P.S.: There's a follow-up question with a suggestion for a replacement GNOME Shell extension.
