Paste the image that is already in Clipboard

What feature would you like to see?

With the change in 0.24.0, i am aware that i can now Copy Paste / Drag & Drop image files
I like it a lot to be honest, this speed up my work a lot

However, as I try to Paste the Image from Clipboard , it does not work, then I check the release note again and finds out that the Copy Paste only applies to Copy the image file and Paste it in Codex CLI

Please make this happen. It helps a lot.

I am using macOS, and I usually CMD+SHIFT+5 and CMD+C to copy screenshot to clipboard, and paste it to somewhere directly(include ChatGPT app)

Are you interested in implementing this feature?

Yes, but well....I only got ideas, not how to implement :p

Additional information

The idea i am mentioning is Copy/Paste all from the Clipboard, not the image file already existed

You should use Ctrl+V (not Cmd+V) to paste an image from clipboard.

By the way, you could use Cmd+Shift+Ctrl+3/4 to take a screenshot & immediately copy it to the clipboard.

OH, i totally forgot to try that, all the function key on Codex-CLI seems to be "Ctrl", i totally forgot to try that lol....AND...it WORKS!

Thanks a lot

In addition to your comment.....opps....I seriously just find out with additional "Ctrl" would allow me to do screenshot & copy immediately :p
The main reason for me using CMD+SHIFT+5 is that i can control different mode and fine control to position of screenshot
