So when I press the key combination, nothing happens, but according to the docs, i3 supposed to exit. I do a line in ~/.i3/config bindsym $mod+Shift+e exec "i3-nagbar -t warning -m 'You pressed the exit shortcut. Do you really want to exit i3? This will end your X session.' -b 'Yes, exit i3' 'i3 -msg exit'" This is on Ubuntu 15.04, but it was the same when I ran it on 14.04.
