Description
When clicking on an address bar at the root of a container, it transforms to an input with a blank value. For users, this is confusing. What is the input for? Is it for addresses, searching, other stuff too?!? As a comparison point, there doesn't seem to be any location in file explorer where clicking the address bar results in an input with empty value.
A placeholder (see #7855) will help indicate the purpose of the input.
This issue is for additional improvements that can be made, such as:
- Have
container name/prefix the input text. If users submit an empty value, just treat the value the same as escaping out of the address bar (basically file explorer behavior)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the address-bar behavior at the root of a container, then compare submitting an empty value with escaping out of the address bar. Done means the input clearly indicates its purpose, prefixes the container name, and treats an empty submission like exiting the address bar.
