Suggested improvements

Based on discussion (internal)

  1. Recover behavior to show recents by default (#8380 ✅)

    • Autopopulate results even when input is empty
    • Tweak result ranking to show recents first
    • Remove current help text
    • Set placeholder = “Paste repository URL or type for suggestions”
  2. Result rendering - visually break down repo URLs into multiple lines

    For results based on existing repositories:

    repo-name
    <git provider>/<org-or-user-or gitlab-group...> (wrapped?)
    issue-pr-commit-context (optional?)

    For pasted URLS:

    https://pasted-url/...

  3. Modal UX and styles

    • grey background [1].
    • text input consistency: focus/active state colors
    • bold grey vs soft grey selection
    • tweak modal size (may affect all modals - ok)
    • (lower priority - only if time permits) results found at bottom vs. infinite scroll
    • make sure the scrolling area is clear to the user[1]
  4. (Optional) Results visual differentiation

    • history / recent worspaces
    • own repos
    • examples
