[VS Code] Cannot paste screenshot images with Ctrl+V

Description

In VS Code's integrated terminal, it's impossible to paste a screenshot image using Ctrl+V. The paste shortcut doesn't work for images copied to the clipboard (e.g., from Windows Snipping Tool or PrintScreen).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Claude Code in VS Code integrated terminal
2. Take a screenshot (Win+Shift+S or PrintScreen) - image is now in clipboard
3. Try to paste with Ctrl+V in the Claude Code prompt
4. Nothing happens / text paste occurs instead of image

Expected Behavior

Ctrl+V should paste the clipboard image, similar to how it works in:

• Claude.ai web interface
• Other terminal applications that support image paste
• The standalone Claude Code terminal (if supported there)

Actual Behavior

Ctrl+V does not paste images. Only text paste works.

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.1.x
• VS Code version: 1.96.x
• Platform: Windows 11 + WSL2
• Terminal: VS Code integrated terminal (bash/zsh)

Workaround

Currently need to:

1. Save screenshot to a file
2. Use the file path or drag-and-drop

Impact

Medium - Significantly slows down workflows involving screenshots, especially for debugging UI issues or sharing visual context.
