How to paste into a terminal?

Question

I have copied a URL, such as git://gitorious.org/openhatch/oh-mainline.git. I want to paste this in the terminal using a keyboard shortcut.

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

Solution 1

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

Solution 2

Shift + Insert usually works throughout X11.

Solution 3

Mostly likely middle click your mouse.

Or try Shift + Insert.

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

Solution 4

same for Terminator

Ctrl + Shift + V

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

Solution 5

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