What do you mean you can't paste from the X clipboard? That is what
bracketed-paste-mode is meant to support. Most modern terminal emulators
have a key-binding to paste from the clipboard. On Unix-like systems
it is usually Ctrl-Shift-V and/or Shift-Insert.
What are harder problem is
(a) the reverse problem: copying to clipboard; and
(b) co-oordinating with the X selection.
A related problem is that one should be able move the readline cursor
by clicking with the mouse. (The DomTerm terminal implements this by sending
left-arrow/right-arrow commands as needed, when emabled by certain escape
sequences.)t
