But this belongs to the 'insert' key on the keyboard.
Cut&Paste with mouse is built in rxvt, double-click/triple-click to copy
word/line to the clipboard, left click somewhere and following right-click
to mark the whole area (and immediately copit to the clipboard) and
<shift-left-click> to paste (or <insert> with the above entry in
.inputrc)

And while editing .inputrc, consider to add some more goodies:

$ cat .inputrc
# This file is read by the 'readline' library
# (the library which bash uses for its command-
# line editing facility)

# Make Home work
"\e[7~": beginning-of-line
# Make End work
"\e[8~": end-of-line
# Make Delete work
"\e[3~": delete-char
# make Insert work
"\e[2~": paste-from-clipboard
