Description
Alt+V image paste has stopped working on Windows PowerShell. It was working reliably for weeks but now does nothing when pressed - no error message, no response at all.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.75
- OS: Windows 10 Education 10.0.19045
- Terminal: PowerShell
- Shell: bash
Steps to reproduce
- Copy an image to clipboard (e.g. Win+Shift+S screenshot)
- In Claude Code prompt, press Alt+V
- Nothing happens - no error, no image pasted
Expected behavior
Image paste dialog/preview should appear as it did previously.
Notes
This was working consistently for weeks prior to the current version.
