Ctrl+V pastes an image into Claude Code

A terminal can only paste text, so Claude Code pastes an image by reading the clipboard itself when it sees Ctrl+V. With Ctrl+V bound to paste, one keystroke sent two things, an empty paste and a raw Ctrl+V, and Claude Code's two clipboard reads raced each other for the Windows clipboard. Paste with an image and no text now sends one Ctrl+V and nothing else, and text paste is unchanged. It can be switched off. The double delivery behind it was general to every hotkey and is fixed for all of them; see the next entry.

Claude Code reads an image from the clipboard on Ctrl+V, while a terminal paste binding can also deliver an empty text paste. The two clipboard reads could race.

When the clipboard has an image but no text, Torbie sends one Ctrl+V to the terminal instead of an empty paste followed by Ctrl+V. Text paste keeps its existing behavior.

• The recorded clipboard race was on Windows. The behavior can be switched off.
