What's Wrong?
In the Claude desktop app on Windows (Code tab), Ctrl+V does not paste anything in the built-in terminal panel. This happens both in a local PowerShell tab and inside an interactive ssh session. Ctrl+Shift+V does paste.
Reproduced on two machines with the same app build:
- Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26300, Claude desktop (MSIX) 2.19675.0.0, Claude Code 2.1.286
- Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 10.0.19044, Claude desktop (MSIX) 2.19675.0.0
What Should Happen?
Ctrl+V pastes the clipboard text into the terminal, as in Windows Terminal and the VS Code integrated terminal on Windows.

- Press Ctrl+V: nothing is pasted.
- Run
ssh <host>and press Ctrl+V again: nothing is pasted. - Press Ctrl+Shift+V: the text is pasted in both cases.
