[SOLVED] "xclip -o" not showing what copied in vimium

I tried using i3wm with fresh install and I have a vimium plugin in firefox. i tried to copy the url using vimium and paste it in terminal using xclip -o and its not showing.

but if I try ctrl+shift+v, the copied url shows.

Using just `xclip -o` gives the primary selection, you'd need `xclip -sel clip -o`
