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.

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
