By default, readline (the command parsing engine of bash) gives Ctrl-V its
traditional Unix semantics of treating the next character typed literally,
rather than as a terminal command. To get it to mean the Windows
semantics of pasting, instead, you will need to do 'stty lnext undef' to
cripple the lnext terminal feature so readline doesn't try to map Ctrl-V
to quoted-insert, then use ~/.inputrc or bash's bind builtin to set ctrl-v
to paste-from-clipboard.
Also, Ctrl-C typically has its default Unix semantics of interrupt, rather
than the Windows semantics of copy region to clipboard.
Or you can just use rxvt (I do), and have traditional Unix semantics of
everything highlighted is automatically on the clipboard with no further
keypresses, and pressing the middle mouse button pastes from the clipboard.
