Pasting text in plain bash window

[Randall R Schulz]

Fergus,

This is no doubt true because you have a line something like this one in 
your "$HOME/.inputrc" file:

     "\M-[2~":   paste-from-clipboard


At least in the past (maybe a year ago when I added this to my own .inputrc 
file), there was no built-in binding of this action to the "Insert" key.

To my knowledge, this is not specific to any particular Windows version or 
versions.
