fix: Add copy/paste functionality to chat input field (#30)

Fixes #29

This PR adds copy/paste functionality to the chat input field:

- **Ctrl+C**: Copies input text to clipboard (when text exists)
- **Ctrl+V**: Pastes clipboard content to input field
- **Ctrl+X**: Cuts input text (copy and clear)
- **Ctrl+W**: Delete word
- Smart Ctrl+C behavior: copy when input has text, quit when empty
- Added cross-platform clipboard support using
`github.com/atotto/clipboard`
- Refactored input handling code for better maintainability
