Copy string from browser to xterm running vi, in KDE
I would like to paste some URLs (text) into scripts, and to do so it would be most convenient if I could copy and paste from the browser to a xterm instance of vi.
How can I copy (control-C) and then paste the string copied, into an instance of vi?
I am using Slackware 14.2, with KDE.

Copy the string as normal. Open up vi in xterm. Then change to paste mode by typing :set paste and then use Shift+Insert to paste the string. Paste mode avoids unexpected effects that might be present when pasting using insert mode.

I usually copy from the browser, then I go ti vi, set it into 'insert' then right-click to paste.
(I'm talking of vi running into a terminal-emulator window, not on a plain TTY)

I usually copy from the browser, then I go ti vi, set it into 'insert' then right-click to paste.
(I'm talking of vi running into a terminal-emulator window, not on a plain TTY)
