          Ctrl+V is not paste in nano, or most other terminal applications.



          Nano's own manual is a good read regarding keyboard shortcuts in nano, and most of them are displayed at bottom of screen. Note that ^ generally means Ctrl, so ^v is Ctrl+v



          You can also press ^g to get help in nano. This will give you a overview of functionality and key combinations that you can use within the editor.



          To cut a line in nano, use ^k, and paste it with ^u. You can also paste into a terminal using middle click, or your terminal emulators paste function.



          ^v is next page in nano, and ^h is backspace (delete character to the left of the cursor).



          This question covers how to paste into a terminal.
