Pasting Images into Claude Code on Linux

Read Original

This article discusses a common issue where pasting images into Claude Code stops working on Linux, particularly after switching distributions or terminal emulators. The author shares their debugging journey, discovering that missing clipboard utilities like xclip (for X11) and wl-clipboard (for Wayland) are often the cause. Installing either tool resolves the problem for setups using Alacritty and Tmux. The article also briefly compares behavior on macOS and notes that Ghostty on macOS had similar issues. It provides practical steps for Linux users to restore image pasting functionality in Claude Code.
