Description

Since #559 it is possible to drag files directly on a Hyperterm window. It works fine for me in Bash and Fish but in ZSH the text is added greatly delayed:

hyperterm-drag-drop

Can some other user please test this as well with long path-strings consisting of more than 4 levels?

In iTerm it is instant.

Research direction
Examine the drag and drop implementation from PR #559. The issue indicates that the delay only occurs in zsh, suggesting a timing or event handling difference. Look at Hyper's event listener for file drop, likely in the main process or terminal emulator. Check for any async operations that might block input in zsh. Reproduce the issue with long paths as described. Consider looking at the zsh configuration or how hyper sends text to the terminal.
