Control V might reach more people.

What is the *nix paste command?

Yes, it is pasted on the wall. More specifically wheat pasted. If you look closely, you can see the paste on the wall surrounding the posters.

I don't believe there is a universal paste key command in Unix. The closest thing would be the middle mouse button (remember 3 button mice?). Control-Y is paste in Emacs.

Most modern flavors of Linux have adopted the Windows standards of Control-C, Control-X and Control-V for copy, cut and paste in most application.

Nice. Now if there just happened to be a keyboard shortcut for wheat...
