Several terminals support Shift-Insert for paste, and it's my preferred
method; haven't tried it with xterm (I'm an rxvt-unicode guy myself).

Of course, the Mac has no Insert key and I haven't yet got to trying xmodmap
fu to give it one  - I'm thinking about using repurposing Shift-Return if
that's possible. (This might be stupid; in a former life I fled from Konsole
to Gnome-Terminal because I have a bad habit of pressing Shift-Return instead
of Return by accident, and Konsole ignored that...)
