I using in xterm, as I would like to paste selection from terminal in other applications without using the mouse.

When I try the following:

bindsym $mod+Shift+V exec sh -c 'xdotool type "xsel"'

i3 crashes and I'm being forced to my login manager.

Any good advice, fixes, solutions?</description><pubDate>Tue, 13 Nov 2012 15:22:03 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://faq.i3wm.org/question/749/primary-paste/</guid></item><item><title>Comment by Michael for &lt;p&gt;Hello, I'm trying to create a bindsym for pasting primary selection, which
