Is there any way to add some snipe of code to solve it if I press many

Change the binding to this
bindsym Mod1+Shift+e exec "pidof i3-nagbar || 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'"
More often than not, the simplest solution to a problem is the preferrable one.
You can hit several dozen keystrokes writing code to "correct" this "problem,"
or you can just hit one keystroke and train yourself to not compulsively do the
same thing over and over and over when there's no reason to. Incidentally, that
ugly yellow thing is called "i3-nagbar," emphasis on "nag." If it's annoying
you, it's doing its job. Personally I (and, I suspect, many other users) just
remove all mention of i3-nagbar from the configuration.
This whole thread reminds me of that old joke:
PATIENT: Doctor, it hurts when I do this...
DOCTOR: Then don't do that.
