I have copied a URL, such as git://gitorious.org/openhatch/oh-mainline.git. I want to paste this in the terminal using a keyboard shortcut.

Please don't say "right click and paste."

Gnome terminal defaults to ControlShiftv

OSX terminal defaults to Commandv. You can also use CommandControlv to paste the text in escaped form.

Windows 7 terminal defaults to CtrlShiftInsert
