How do I paste into the "crosh" terminal in a Chromebook?

Question

I pressed Ctrl + Alt + t while having Chrome open to open a terminal in my Chromebook. How do I paste content into this terminal copied from another tab in Chrome?

I have tried Ctrl + v to no avail. I have also tried highlighting text and pasting it via the middle button on my mouse, which failed too.

I have also read this article (http://www.servercobra.com/nothing-but-chromebook-for-a-week/) and tried triple clicking my touch pad, but it isn't working for me.

Ctrl + Shift + v works for me in crosh. Chrome OS Version 21.0.1180.83.

If you want to simulate Ctrl + Insert on a Chromebook you can press the

Ctrl + search key + period key (.)

at the same time. The search key is located above the shift key on the left. Shift + Insert can be done via

Shift + search key + period key

I haven't tried crosh, but maybe it is shift+ins, like in a linux terminal.

Doing a two finger click, aka right click, works too.

Right click is a common way of pasting on many *nix systems.

Just press Ctrl+Shift+T and bookmark it then you can probably move the bookmark onto a separate page.
