Nano is a self-contained terminal program: it has its own "cutbuffer" -- it does not use the "clipboard" that is shared among graphical desktop programs.  So, when you use ^U (Uncut), you can only paste what you have cut with ^K in nano.

When you want to paste something from the clipboard, you can use a mid-click of the mouse (or click left and right button at the same time).  But normally, depending on your desktop, Shift+Insert should work too.

Hi,

When trying to copy/paste a string from Opera Browser to Nano, paste command (CTRL+U) doesn't work. I have to use right click + "paste", and it works.

Regards.
