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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the drag and drop handler introduced in PR #559 and trace how the file path is written to the terminal input in zsh. Investigate why there is a delay specifically with long paths and in zsh. Compare with the behavior in bash and fish to identify the root cause.
