Description

Starting from MS Windows 10, one can enable and use Windows Clipboard History. The settings are in: `Settings -> System -> Clipboard -> Clipboard history` from Windows 11. It works with regular local accounts too.
To paste from it, one activates its popup by pressing `Win+V`. This works in most of the cases and works in WindTerm for `cmd` and `powershell` tabs. But for `gitbash` and WSL2 `ubuntu-24.04` it doesn't work correctly. For example, Windows Terminal app handles it well for both types of sessions.
So, expected behavior is to support Windows Clipboard History `Win+V` key out-of-the-box for all major session types.

Research direction

Start by reproducing Win+V in WindTerm's gitbash and WSL2 Ubuntu 24.04 sessions, then compare the behavior with cmd and PowerShell tabs and the Windows Terminal app. Done means Windows Clipboard History opens and can paste correctly across all major session types described in the issue.
