…tcut WebKitGTK never surfaces image MIME types in ClipboardEvent.clipboardData.items, so the previous hasImage guard always returned false and the paste handler was silently skipped. Fix by removing the guard and delegating detection entirely to the native arboard backend (clipboard_save_image already handles the no-image case). Also add Ctrl+Shift+V as an explicit image-paste shortcut that bypasses the paste event entirely, covering cases where WebKitGTK doesn't fire a paste event for image-only clipboard content. Add tauri.conf.dev.json for building a parallel BOOKSHELLDEV app (different identifier) that can coexist with the production build. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…tGTK hangs - Use a persistent clipboard worker thread (arboard) for text writes so X11 keeps responding to SelectionRequest events after set_text returns - Add clipboard_read_text command for reading text back without WebKit - Ctrl+Shift+V now falls back to text paste when clipboard holds no image - Guard onMouseUp auto-copy to left-click only (button === 0) so middle-click no longer overwrites clipboard and breaks primary paste Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
