Pasting or dragging an image into the prompt
Images can be added directly to a message by pasting from the clipboard or dragging a file into the input, without a separate upload step.
For anything easier to show than describe — a UI bug, a diagram, an error dialog — pasting a screenshot directly into the input is faster than typing a description and usually gets a more accurate response.
Clipboard paste support depends somewhat on the terminal you're using; dragging an image file into the input is the more universally reliable fallback if paste doesn't pick it up.
Multiple images in one message work the same way — paste or drag each one in before sending.
