I currently have a link copied to the clipboard, but pressing Command + V isn't pasting it.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Reproduction Steps:
- Launch VS Code and open a new terminal.
- Type
codexto enter the environment. - Use keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste content.
VS Code Version: 1.118.1
What is the expected behavior?
When launching the Codex CLI within VS Code, copying text or links from an external source and pasting them into the Codex input field does not work—only the letter 'v' appears. However, if I launch Zsh independently, copying and pasting function normally.

This issue still persists in the latest version.
I created a simplified version; it works correctly via the VS Code command palette, and copying and pasting also function without any issues. I hope this helps address the issue. Here is the link to the sample code.
