Description
- Your Hyper.app version is 3.0.2. Please verify your using the latest Hyper.app version
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate. At least not a recent bug (2017... and none referencing the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+V)
- Any relevant information from devtools? (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere):
- Is the issue reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app?
Issue
When I execute CTRL+SHIFT+V, the paste won't happen. I'll see something like this

so the little hat but nothing pastes. If I rightclick and do select the paste option it works.

Research direction
Reproduce the shortcut failure in Hyper 3.0.2 on Windows 10 with the reported WSL shell, comparing CTRL+SHIFT+V with the working context-menu paste action. Trace the keyboard shortcut and paste handling entry points, then verify that the shortcut pastes reliably without changing the context-menu behavior.
