Execute xkill in i3












5















I'm trying to bind xkill to a key combination like this:



bindsym $mod+Pause exec xkill


but nothing happens after I press the keys.



xkill works ok if I execute it from launcher.



I tried redirecting stderr to a file, but the file is empty after executing xkill.



Any ideas how to use xkill with keyboard shortcuts in i3?
