How to Paste into a Terminal?

I have copied a URL, such as git://. I want to paste this in the terminal using a keyboard shortcut.

Please don't say "right click and paste."

Gnome terminal defaults to ControlShiftv

OSX terminal defaults to Commandv. You can also use CommandControlv to paste the text in escaped form.

Windows 7 terminal defaults to CtrlShiftInsert

Shift + Insert usually works throughout X11.

Mostly likely middle click your mouse.

Or try Shift + Insert.

It all depends on terminal used and X11-config for mouse.

same for Terminator

Ctrl + Shift + V

Look at your terminal key-bindings if any if that doesn't work

In Konsole (KDE terminal) is the same, Ctrl + Shift + V

On windows 7:

Ctrl + Shift + Ins

works for me!
