Hotkey for “paste shortcut” in windows 7 explorer

Question

In folder view, we right click on a file and copy it and then somewhere else, we right click and say "paste shortcut"

I could not find a hotkey combination for "paste shortcut".

Google search for "paste shortcut" etc is pretty much useless. It gives me shortcuts for "paste"
