On my non laptop 2 button mouse with a scroll, clicking the scroll 
button pastes. Also Shift-Button 1 pastes. And I've also added the 
following to ~/.inputrc:

# Insert
"\e[2~": paste-from-clipboard

With this Shift-Insert also pastes.

Sounds like you have options to consider.

Neat?!? You don't know how many times I had to go to a users desk 
because he said he was hung only to find out that when trying to bring a 
Cygwin DOS oriented window to the top he inadvertantly moved the mouse 
selecting a few characters and was waiting for additional output. 
Stopping the selection caused a flutter of output!

If you want output to pause so you can select text, typically you type 
Control-S. Then type Control-Q to continue.
