   this solves the problem.

   1. from command pallet Ctrl+Shift+P
   2. Open Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON)

   

   3. Then paste this and save.

   [
       {
           "key": "ctrl+v",
           "command": "-editor.action.clipboardPasteAction"
       }
   ]

   4. You might need to reload window. I'm not sure.

   This creates a new problem: pasting in Agent sidebar (including Claude). So I use shift + insert which is an old school shortcut for paste in windoes.
