Description
Bear with me for a second. Somebody suggested this in another issue, and I wonder if we should consider it here.
The new pane is focused, and put in a [number entry] or [search for profiles by name] mode, just like one of our earlier issues suggested.
We probably want that UI anyway, since it has some benefits. Thoughts?

Done should include an agreed behavior and implementation scope, but the issue does not define either.
