Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
Support pasting images from the system clipboard into copilot CLI prompts
Proposed solution
When using Copilot CLI with image-based prompts (e.g., screenshots of code, UI bugs, logs),
there is currently no way to paste an image directly from the system clipboard.
Instead, users must:
- Save the image to disk
- Remember the file location
- Paste the file path into the CLI
This adds unnecessary friction for a very common workflow, especially when iterating
quickly on screenshots or transient images.
This aligns Copilot CLI with modern multimodal workflows already supported
in IDEs and chat UIs, and would make the CLI a first-class interface rather
than a fallback.
