I was able to fix the issue doing this:

Ctrl+Shift+P → "Disable All Installed Extensions" Reload window Re-enable just Claude Code and test paste

I was not able to get the Claude Code Extension (VS Code on MacOS) to recognize either MacOS App Shortcuts for paste or the VS Code Keyboard shortcuts. The OS Keyboard shortcut paste or right-click paste do work for me.

FWIW, I am kicking the tires on Claude after a year on Cursor, which does handle the keyboard shortcuts correctly.
