Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Warp's input and drag-and-drop handling, then determine how text from external applications reaches terminal prompts. Done means text such as commands, IP addresses, and 1Password values can be dragged into prompts without requiring clipboard use.

Describe the solution you'd like?
I'd like to be able to drag text from other applications into Warp (e.g. a command, IP address) so I don't have to copy and paste each time.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm using 1Password as a password manager and prefer dragging the password into prompts instead of copy-pasting which would reveal it to any app with clipboard access.
