Support drag and drop files/images into chat panel

[iakuf]

Feature Description

Feature Description

Currently, to add files to the chat context, users must use the #file context provider or click the image icon.

It would be great to support drag and drop functionality for adding files and images directly into the chat input area, similar to how Cursor IDE handles this.

Current Workaround

• Use #file or #folder context providers
• Click the image icon in chat input
• For CLI: drag and drop into terminal (already supported)

Expected Behavior

• Drag a file from Explorer → drop into chat panel → file is added to context
• Drag an image from desktop → drop into chat panel → image is attached

Environment

• OS: Windows
• Kiro Version: 0.1.x (Preview)

Use Case

Use Case

• Quickly share screenshots for debugging UI issues
• Add multiple files to context without typing #file repeatedly
• More intuitive workflow for users coming from other AI IDEs

Why is this marked as duplicate?
Both issues request drag and drop functionality for images - the new issue requests drag and drop into chat panel, while #5010 requests copy-paste images in CLI which is essentially the same core functionality for adding images more intuitively
