Solution 1 - Linux

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

Solution 2 - Linux

Shift + Insert usually works throughout X11.

Mostly likely middle click your mouse.

Or try Shift + Insert.

It all depends on terminal used and X11-config for mouse.
