Problem Statement
Body:
Feature Request
Problem:
When working on a laptop without an external mouse, using click-to-paste is difficult and often requires multiple attempts. The touchpad makes
precise clicking challenging, especially for frequent paste operations during coding sessions.
Proposed Solution
Proposed Solution:
Add support for Ctrl+V (and Cmd+V on macOS) as an alternative paste method in Claude Code terminal.
Benefits:
- Better laptop/touchpad user experience
- Faster workflow for keyboard-centric users
- Accessibility improvement
- Consistency with standard keyboard shortcuts
Alternative Solutions Considered:
Currently trying Shift+Insert and Ctrl+Shift+V, but native Ctrl+V support would be more intuitive.
Environment:
- OS: Windows11
- Claude Code Version: Opus4.1
- Using laptop with touchpad
Thank you for considering this enhancement!
