There are other ways to do this if you find that too complicated.

You could go to the new workspace first (just click on it in the
Activities view), the new window will open there, eliminating the
'Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Downarrow".

You can avoid the right click->new window by using ctrl-left click (it
does the same thing).

Or you could avoid all of that by going to the Activities view, and
simply dragging the Terminal icon (or the icon for any other
application) to a workspace on the right - it will open a new window in
whichever workspace you drag it to. Just keep dragging the icon to a the
empty workspace at the bottom of the list, and you'll have get the same
results as Alexander's method. 

Or you could just middle-click on the Terminal icon, and it will open a
new window in a new workspace.

Hopefully one of these is clean and simple enough for you.
