How to paste text from an external source into the xterm edited file?

Question

I want to copy some text from a webpage and paste it into a file opened with xterm editor. How can I paste my text into the xterm edited file?

try middle-click or shift-insert to paste inside xtrem. – Avinash Raj Jun 20 '14 at 07:09 — Avinash Raj, Jun 20 '14 at 07:09

In xterm middle click works for me, as does Shift+Insert. There possibly are other methods, but those are the ones I just tested.

Thank you so much Tim. I have been in a big trouble this morning. Your command is so simple and does not require any tool to install. – Jun 20 '14 at 07:25

Give a try to ctrl+Shift+V for pasting text (which are copied from external sources) into gnome-terminal.

Also you can try to run Nano with multibuffer option

nano -E

then use both Ctrl+Shift+V or Ctrl+U
