I tried it and it's not working for me, my terminal is super+T and paste is Ctrl+Shift+V

Win + R isn't the terminal but rather the run command.

Ooooohhh... Been using Ubuntu and Mint next to Windows for a couple years and always right-clicked to paste. So that's the secret sauce!

Shift-insert works too, one key less

But insert is farther than shift :P

The better argument is that many keyboards don't have an Insert key. I usually use Shift+Insert myself because it's more likely to work on all terminal types, including Windows and Linux, but have ran into times where I just don't have an insert, like on my laptop and Chromebook. So yeah, I might switch to Ctrl+Shift+V as my go to.

It is but it's an easy combo on a full keyboard. On a laptop it may be a bit inconvenient I agree
