Ubiquitous shift in values? That's about right (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

universal

'ubiquitous' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'shift in values? that's about right' is the wordplay.
'shift' is an anagram indicator.
'that's about' is an insertion indicator.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'in'+'values'='invalues'
'invalues' anagrammed gives 'univesal'.
'univesal' going around 'r' is 'UNIVERSAL'.

(Other definitions for universal that I've seen before include "wide-ranging and comprehensive" , "Common" , "Ubiquitous" , "Applicable to all cases" , "Without exception" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
