I can't seem to move any windows to workspace #4.
mod+4 works and all the other mod+shift binds work.
Is there any way to figure out what application is stealing this keybind?
EDIT: some relevant pieces of my config
set $mod Mod4
bindsym $mod+4 workspace 4
bindsym $mod+Shift+4 move container to workspace 4
it would be helpful to see your config :)
Try running xev in a terminal, see what keycode does 4 produce(it should be 13 on standard us keyboard) and put this line in your config:
bindcode $mod+Shift+13 move container to workspace 4

Do you really have $mod+Shift+4 in your config? I think this cannot work because by pressing Shift, the 4 is exchanged by the special character lying on that key ($ on US layout keyboard). Maybe you try $mod+Shift+dollar (use xev to find out the symbolic names of keys).
Which version of i3 are you using? I remember that 3.* did not work for me either.
Please provide your entire config to rule out any human mistakes. I don’t know a way to find the culprit application aside of killing processes until nothing is left.
@mschaefer: If this was the case moving containers to all workspaces would have been inpossible, because Shift+1234 = !@#$, and he said that only 4 does not work, which means that probably some other program is stealing the keypress.
