Title:

Description:

Image pasting via Ctrl+V is no longer working in Claude Code on Windows,
though it used to work previously. Drag-and-drop still functions correctly.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Copy an image to clipboard (e.g., from a screenshot tool or by copying an

image file)

1. Open Claude Code in VSCode terminal
2. Try to paste the image using Ctrl+V

Expected behavior:
The image should be pasted into the conversation, as documented in the
https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/common-workflows.

Actual behavior:
The image does not paste. No error message is shown.

Workaround:
Drag-and-drop of images still works correctly.

Environment:

• OS: Windows (MINGW64_NT-10.0-26100 3.5.4-395fda67.x86_64)
• Platform: win32
• Claude Code: [2.0.10

Additional context:
This functionality worked previously and appears to be a regression.

What Should Happen?

The image should be pasted into the conversation, as documented in the
https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/common-workflows.
