Unnecessarily complicated. As others have pointed out, first check Klipper and make sure selection is highlighted -- click it to make sure, after which Ctrl+V will work. Alternatively, click the middle mouse button/scroll wheel. I have the same problem when trying to paste to a command line in the console, except there you can't get Ctrl+V to work at all. Greg
