No. Normally Ctrl+V pastes. Immediately. Here, Ctrl+V opens the "paste" 
dialog. Hence, that argument bears little to no value to me.

That's not the point. We _need_ an Open URL or Open Location box, because it 
is the ONE single SANE way to open HTTP/RTSP/MMS streams. It simply is. And 
once we have that, Paste MRL/Paste URL will become totally redumdant.

How can you pretend to argue for consistency with other softwares, then use 
the argument to make things that is precisely inconsistent with those?
