[DOCS] Inaccurate instruction regarding image pasting (Cmd+V support) in Common Workflows
Documentation Type
Missing documentation (feature not documented)
Documentation Location
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/common-workflows
Section/Topic
Section: Work with images -> Step 1: "Add an image to the conversation"
Current Documentation
2. Copy an image and paste it into the CLI with ctrl+v (Do not use cmd+v)
What's Wrong or Missing?
The documentation explicitly advises against using Cmd+V for pasting images. This contradicts recent updates found in the Changelog, which indicate that support for Cmd+V (⌘+V) has been implemented for specific environments on macOS.
According to the Changelog:
- v2.1.0: "Added Cmd+V support for image paste in iTerm2 (maps to Ctrl+V)"
- v1.0.61: "IDE: Added support for pasting images in VSCode MacOS using ⌘+V"
Telling users "Do not use cmd+v" is now incorrect for users on iTerm2 or VS Code on macOS.
Suggested Improvement
The instruction should be updated to reflect that Cmd+V is supported in certain terminals.
Suggested text:
2. Copy an image and paste it into the CLI with Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V in supported terminals like VS Code and iTerm2).
Impact
High - Prevents users from using a feature
