I have made a script where it uses xdotool to do some keyboard inputs.
You can find the script here (The script is called pop_mpv.sh).
The script works perfectly when I run it from a terminal, but it does not work properly when I have the script bound to a key.
This is what I put into my i3 config:
bindsym --release $mod+p exec bash ~/bin/pop_mpv.sh
According to the i3wm user guide, I have to use --release because I am using xdotool.
https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#keybindings
I tried what suggested in this question, but it did not work.
EDIT I forgot to add to script that you need xclip for it run
keyboard window-managers xdotool i3

Your script and i3wm keybinding all look correct. It's strange. When I put sleep 1 before executing bash script. It suddenly works...
bindsym --release $mod+p exec "sleep1; ~/bin/pop_mpv.sh"
