What steps can reproduce the bug?

Feature request: Please enable pasting images from the Windows
clipboard (captured via Win+Shift+S) directly into Codex CLI’s
chat input. Right now, after taking a snip, pressing Ctrl+V
or right‑click paste in the CLI does nothing because the input
only accepts text. Desired behavior: when I press Win+Shift+S,
select a region, focus Codex CLI, and press Ctrl+V, the
screenshot is ingested, saved to a temp file, shown with
a small preview, and attached to the current message (with
sensible file naming, size limits, and a configurable save
directory). Acceptance: this flow works reliably on Windows 11
(Windows Terminal + PowerShell). Nice‑to‑have: support pasting
images copied from other apps and drag‑and‑drop, and document
limits/fallbacks.

What is the expected behavior?

already works out of the box, but there's a terminal keybind conflict on windows.

fix: change paste keybind for windows terminal to alt+v or anything other than ctrl+v

这是日常使用最重要的功能,没有之一。

每天大量场景需要截图交流——报错弹窗、UI 渲染异常、调试信息、控制台输出。现在每次截图都显示 [Unsupported Image],必须绕过保存文件再发路径,工作流直接被打断。TraeSOLO、clawx 都已经支持剪贴板图片直接粘贴,技术上完全可行。

macOS 版(#10523)已有部分支持,Windows 用户至今无法使用。作为日常重度用户,这个缺失让 Codex 在基本交互上落后于竞品。希望团队能把这个功能排上优先级。
