In windows I can paste the clipboard content using the key combination Ctrl + V

However if I try to achieve the same in Linux terminal using the same Ctrl + V key combination, I get the output:

^V

How to paste clipboard content to terminal in Linux using keybord?

Try Ctrl Insert to copy and Shift Insert paste. According to wikipedia this is in accordance with the IBM Common User Access (CUA) standard. It works in all the X11 terminals that I have tried it on (but it seems xterm for some reason adds 5~ while copying) and it also works in putty from Windows. I like it because I can use only my right hand (using right Ctrl and Shift).
