claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE] Right-click to Copy Image does not paste into Claude Code chat input (Linux)

Preflight Checklist

• I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
• This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

Current Behaviour: No image is pasted. No error is shown. The input remains empty.

When copying an image using right-click → "Copy Image" (from a browser or file manager) and then pressing Ctrl+V in the Claude Code chat input, nothing is pasted. The clipboard image is silently ignored.

Workarounds (inconvenient):

• Save image to disk → drag and drop into chat
• Use OS screenshot tool (Shift+PrtScr) → Ctrl+V (this works)
• Share local file path manually

Proposed Solution

Expected Behaviour: The copied image should paste into the chat input, the same way a screenshot (Shift+PrtScr → Ctrl+V) does.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Right-click any image in a browser or file manager
2. Select "Copy Image"
3. Click inside the Claude Code chat input
4. Press Ctrl+V
5. Nothing happens

Use Case Example

Why this matters: Copy Image is the most natural and fastest way to share a visual reference. Having to save → drag every time breaks the workflow significantly, especially when debugging UI issues with a developer tool like Claude Code.
