[Bug] Command+C/V keyboard shortcuts not working in Claude Code Desktop app

Bug Description
I wanted to flag a clipboard issue I've been running into with the Claude Code Desktop app. Copy, cut, and paste shortcuts (Cmd+C, Cmd+V) don't work reliably. It seems to come and go, with stretches where it works fine and then longer periods where it doesn't.

A few details that might help:

  • I'm running the app using bypass permissions, not sure if that's related.
  • When I use Wispr Flow and it terminates, it seems to trigger a paste command that fails. The text doesn't get pasted in, and I have to right-click and paste manually for it to work.
  • The same issue happens in the Intercom Messenger within the desktop app. I can't paste using the shortcut there either.

It feels like a global app-level thing where keyboard shortcuts for clipboard actions just aren't being picked up, but right-click paste still works.

Hope this is something you can look into soon!
