[MacOS] paste image into Zed AI Agent Chat with ctrl-v

[ahemyu]

What are you proposing?

It should be possible to paste images in the clipboard into the AI Agent Chat with ctrl-v keyboard shortcut.

Why does this matter?

It is really annoying to click on the plus symbol, click on image, go into the finder and then having to choose the image one wants to paste.

What becomes easier or possible?

Pasting images into the Agent Chat without leaving the keyboard, which I would assume will be a big speed boost for a lot of folks.

Screenshots, mockups, workflows, or examples from other tools.

In Claude Code CLI one can just paste an clipboard image into the chat with ctrl-v.

Possible approach

I have not thought about it yet, if there are other people that might find this helpful, I would take some time to figure it out.
