Description
The pane broadcast functionality that's currently in preview does not describe nor allow to configure how paste functionality works.
Currently, if you paste into a broadcast group of panes using right-click, it only pastes in the pane that the mouse is hovering over.
On the other hand, if you paste using Ctrl-v, it inconsistently pastes into _some_ of the broadcast group panes - but usually not all.
It would be nice if there was a configuration option that specified how to handle paste with a broadcast group.
And, the Ctrl-v paste should be consistent and either configurable or follow the same behavior as right-click.
