I ran across this extension the other day that allows you to open a URL on the clipboard by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+V (or whatever combination you choose)

I went through this when I upgraded from Shrike to Core 3. What I really wanted was the old emacs behaviour.

Diggler does a whole bunch or URL manipulations, but most importantly (to me, and I suspect to you) is the X icon it adds to the left of the address bar, which does exactly what you want. Usefull when your hand is already on the mouse and ready to paste a URL, and you don't want to switch to the keyboard and back.
