Just FYI... ;-)
Assumption:
You're running bash in rxvt (I personally do reccommend doing so, unless you
have a very specific reason not to, e.g. running a number of DOS/Windows
console programs).
1 - Use your middle mouse button. (inserts all of it)
(note: Disable Mouse support, if you use nano)
2 - Hit the insert key (inserts first line, prerequisite below)
$ grep paste .inputrc
"\M-[2~": paste-from-clipboard # Insert first line of (Win) clip
$ man readline # tells more about possibilities.
$ man bash # as does this
/readline
$ man rxvt # also tells more...
/insertion
