Terminals only accept text, so picking an image from clipboard history while a terminal is focused silently pasted nothing. Detect terminal focus via hyprctl and type the file path instead; GUI targets keep the shift-insert image paste.

Problem
Picking an image (e.g. a screenshot) from clipboard history (
Super + Ctrl + V) while a terminal is focused silently pastes nothing:omarchy-clipboard-paste-fileputsimage/pngon the clipboard and sends Shift+Insert, but terminals only accept text.Fix
In
bin/omarchy-clipboard-paste-file, when the mime isimage/*and the Hyprland focused window is a terminal (foot/kitty/ghostty/alacritty/wezterm/konsole/tilix or any*term*class), type the file path withwtypeinstead of sending Shift+Insert. GUI targets and non-image files behave exactly as before, as does everything when focus can't be determined. No QML changes needed — the history picker calls the same command.Verification
