Description:
When attempting to configure a new MySQL database connection in the VSCode MySQL Shell plugin, I'm unable to paste text into input fields. Standard keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+V on macOS) and right-click context menu options for pasting do not work in any of the text fields in the connection configuration dialog. This makes it difficult to input complex server addresses, usernames, and other connection details without manual typing.

How to repeat:
1. Open VSCode
2. Open MySQL Shell plugin
3. Click on "Create new connection" or similar option
4. In the Database Connection Configuration dialog, try to paste text into any field (Host Name, Username, etc.) using:
  - Keyboard shortcut (Cmd+V on macOS)
  -  Right-click context menu
  - Any other paste method
5. Observe that no text is pasted into the field

Suggested fix:
Implement standard clipboard functionality in the connection configuration dialog to allow users to paste text into input fields using standard keyboard shortcuts and context menu options.

Hello ,

Thank you for the report and feedback.
I checked VS Code + MySQL Shell for VS Code 1.19.13+9.3.1 on Mac 15.5 (24F74) - Apple M1 Pro and able to paste in the fields without any issues. Could you please upgrade to  MySQL Shell for VS Code 1.19.13+9.3.1 and confirm if you are still seeing the issues? Thank you.

regards,
Umesh
