Same. I can't just create a screenshot with command+control+shift+4 and paste it in the CLI.

I can paste a file from my desktop though (if i make the same screenshot without holding the control key)

I can copy an existing image file and paste (Ctrl+V) to PowerShell inside Windows Terminal.

But it does nothing if using PowerShell inside IntelliJ IDEA.

Always does nothing.

I just created a windows app to do this, It will copy the current screenshot as path, and you can ctrl+v to claude code: https://github.com/rizrmd/shotpath

I don't not know when, but now it works. I close this issue.
