Unable to paste images from clipboard in chat window #135

Description

@johnedward0096

Issue Description

The application currently doesn't support pasting images directly from the clipboard into the chat window. When trying to paste an image that has been copied to the clipboard (e.g., from a screenshot or another application), the paste operation either doesn't work or isn't recognized.

Expected Behavior

Users should be able to:

  • Copy an image to the clipboard (via screenshot, copy from browser, etc.)
  • Paste the image directly into the chat window using Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on macOS)
  • Have the image appear in the chat for processing

Current Behavior

The clipboard image paste functionality is not working in the chat window.

Environment

  • Platform: Desktop application (Tauri-based)
  • Related to copilot chat functionality

Additional Context

This would be a valuable feature for users who frequently work with images and screenshots, as it would streamline the workflow of sharing visual content with Claude without needing to save files first.

The application already has clipboard-related features (like copilot_paste_text_files), so extending this to support image clipboard content would be a natural enhancement.
