Others have described the more usual solutions.  One I suggest is:


Since xterm pasting is a very common action, bind it to a key.  In your
~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults file, add:

*VT100.translations: #override\
	<Key>Insert: insert-selection(PRIMARY,CUT_BUFFER0)

This will allow you to use the Insert key on your keyboard to paste into
any xterm.

I recommend this to 3-button users too.
