Hi, What seems to work in many cases here (ubuntu) for pasting the clipboard is clicking both the left and right mouse buttons simultaneously instead of doing ctrl+v.
wow! this works -- thanks for the tip - this makes Pd commenting much easier

This doesn't paste from clipboard. it pastes directly from selection. It works only with selections registered with X11. It's the original pasting method introduced by X11 in the eighties, before Ctrl+c Ctrl+v became a standard (and even then, some may remember Netscape 3 on Linux actually having copy-paste like Alt+c Alt+v or Meta+c Meta+v instead!)
The keyboard shortcut for paste-from-selection is often Shift+Insert, but I'm not sure that it's standard. I remember many apps having Shift+Insert for paste-from-clipboard instead, but that might have been in DOS and OS/2 only, not sure.
As Mik says, Button-1 and Button-3 pressed together does the job of Button-2 if your X11 server is configured to make this translation. Mice that have two buttons are lacking Button-2. If you have a clickable wheel, Button-2 is usually there, and if you have a nonclickable wheel, Button-2 may be a thumb button.

Mathieu thanks for the X-11 info :) I discovered the scrollwheel click after checking out out the 2nd button click suggested and that also works the only problem is if you click on a comment making it gray then perform a paste it usually ends up looking something like [commyour text pasted hereent] and needs a little clean up it would be nice if it replaced comment with the new text oh well, at least I can now paste from the console ciao!

Press BackSpace or Delete prior to pasting.

isn't 'comment' the last current selection then ? btw, here it does copy the clipboard, not the current selection (from gedit to comment), I have to do ctrl+c in gedit or nothing gets pasted... gr, Tim
