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!
