I think this is ok for now, but a much better approach for the future, in my opinion, would be to refactor the input field to be an array of objects, for example:
type PasteItem = {
type: "paste";
text: string;
}
type ImageItem = {
type: "image";
pathToFile: string;
}
type StringItem = {
type: "string";
value: string;
}
type InputFieldValue = PasteItem | ImageItem | StringItem;
type InputFieldState = InputFieldValue[];
// then, in the component
const [inputFieldState, setInputFieldState] = useState<InputFieldState>([]);
// refactor the renderer to correctly render input field state
function render(state: InputFieldState): string
// refactor state updaters to correctly handle the new shape
function handleX(cursorPosition: number, event: unknown): InputFieldState

Looking back at this, I agree. This is the better approach. I will get a follow up done.

VSCode terminal sends empty bracketed paste sequences for Cmd+V, unlike regular terminals that send key events directly. This was broken in Kilo-Org#4916 when the condition changed to skip empty pastes. Now we check the clipboard for images when receiving an empty bracketed paste, restoring the behavior from Kilo-Org#4832.
