Problem Statement
A common setup for me and for other software engineers is to develop on a VDI.
I have a macbook. I run iterm2, ssh into my VDI, run tmux (so that my sessions are saved), then run claude code. Copying images to claude code in this setup is harder than it should be. I currently have a script that saves my clipboard, copies the image over to my VDI, and loads the image to my VDIs clipboard. I need to run the script each time I want to transfer an image from my local clipboard. It would be nice if it were somehow made easier.
Proposed Solution
I'd like to be able to skip running my custom script each time I want to transfer an image. When I take a screenshot on my clipboard, if I want to transfer it to my claude code running remotely, I should just be able to do it.
Alternative Solutions
Maybe Anthropic develops an IDE with Claude Code integration, that solves this problem and many others
