Bug Description
cmd+v is no longer pasting, and ctrl+v is now, but it's not working properly. i don't want to use ctrl+v to paste, all these other harnesses like codex are completely scuffed when pasting. why have you changed this?

I still have one terminal open that hasn't been updated and cmd+v is still working there. so i don't know why you have done this.

ok disabling this vscode setting
"terminal.integrated.enableKittyKeyboardProtocol": false
fixed it, so maybe this will help someone else
