Or in xterm and other places it is Shift-Insert.

The traditional X controls are to highlight using the left mouse
button.  Then paste using the middle mouse button.  Shift-Insert is
also available as a paste control.

Unfortunately (for me anyway) the Microsoft C-c, C-x, C-v controls are
permeating and the traditional methods are becoming broken.  Therefore
your experience may be different depending upon configuration.
