Pretty sure the hotkey is alt + v

clipaste fixes this. Tiny background daemon that normalizes the screenshot clipboard — adds a file URL so Cmd+V works, and adds the PNGf type so Ctrl+V works.

brew install hqhq1025/clipaste/clipaste
brew services start clipaste

Also supports SSH remote paste via clipaste ssh-setup user@host.
