ProWrite (and I believe other prog's as well) uses Amiga-V for paste.
I can't think of a mnemonic for this, but X, C, and V are right in a
row on a QWERTY keyboard (sorry Dvorak users).

I think the Intuition manual contains a section on style suggestions
that recommends shortcut keys for common menu items.  You might look at
this.
