Ctrl+V with an image in the clipboard does nothing. The session log shows
“ctrl-v-clipboard-image-miss” preceded by uncaught exceptions:
TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The “list[1]” argument must be an instance of
Buffer or Uint8Array. Received type string (‘OK\n’)
at Buffer.concat … at Socket. (5622.index.js)
Steps to Reproduce
Steps to reproduce
Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4 to copy a screenshot to the clipboard
In agent, press Ctrl+V
Nothing is inserted (no [Image #1]); the log shows the errors above
This is a regression in recent CLI builds: Ctrl+V doesn’t attach images from the clipboard right now, even though the screenshot is on the clipboard. It’s a known issue the team is aware of, and I’ve added your report to it.
Until a fixed build ships, attaching the image as a file should still work:
Take the screenshot with Cmd+Shift+4 (without Ctrl) so macOS saves it to a file.
Drag that file from Finder into the agent prompt, or paste its full path. You should see [Image #1] appear.
Pasting a screenshot into the chat in the Cursor app also still works in the meantime!
Hello, thanks for the contribution. It worked correctly in the version you mentioned, but after updating to 2026.10.22-27dcf5f, the issue regressed. I applied a patch at the zsh level to make it work with the latest version; so far, it’s working well.
