Reproduction steps

copy something from OneNote to clipboard with ctrl c
try to paste it in zed (vim mode) with ctrl shift v or right click paste
doesnt work

Current vs. Expected behavior

pasting works from any application,
currently i have to copy it from onenote to notepad, and then from notepad to zed it works, but it makes using zed as lightweight editor miserable
the copied text from onenote shows up in the win+V clipboard menu
