New feature ideas for better repo filtering

Feature Request: Multi-Select & Favorites for Repo Filter

sample repo github: itsrubberduck/better-codex

Problem

The current repo filter only allows one selection at a time. Switching between multiple related repos is slow and resets after reload.

Proposal

  • Multi-Select: allow selecting multiple repos (checkbox or tag-style chips).
  • Favorites: star repos for quick access (“Show favorites only”).
  • Shortcut: global key (e.g. / or Alt+F) focuses the filter; Esc clears it.
  • Persistence: save selection and favorites in localStorage, optional tab sync.
  • (Optional) Exclude syntax like -repo-name.

Benefits

Faster navigation, less context switching, smoother workflow for multi-repo users.

UI Sketch

Keep current input; add checkboxes or chips. Star icon for favorites.
