The answer is


Shift + Insert usually works throughout X11.


On windows 7:

Ctrl + Shift + Ins

works for me!


same for Terminator

Ctrl + Shift + V

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


Mostly likely middle click your mouse.

Or try Shift + Insert.

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


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