Summary of the new feature/enhancement

It would be useful if the path pasted from clipboard to a shell was translated to a format that said shell understands if it differs form native windows format.

For example, if user pastes C:\Windows\System\ to PowerShell or cmd it remains unchanged, but in WSL it changes to /mnt/c/Windows/System and in Git Bash to /c/Windows/System.
