Often, you will be referred to instructions that require commands to be pasted into the terminal. You might be wondering why the text you've copied from a web page using <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>C</keycap></keycombo> won't paste in with <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>V</keycap></keycombo>. Surely you don't have to type in all those nasty commands and filenames? Relax. Middle Button Click on your mouse (both buttons simultaneously on a two-button mouse) or Right Click and select <menuchoice><guimenuitem>Paste</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from the menu. You can also insert text by hitting <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>Insert</keycap></keycombo>
