I request better keyboard control of the filter area.
 
I'd like something to:
 
1) bring the source box in focus, with a keystroke,
 
2) then the ability to tab to the filter box toggle, and an optional spacebar to toggle the present filter on/off
 
3) then a tab to access the sql filter
 
4) then a tab to the alphanumeric, and an optional spacebar toggle
 
5) then tab to the date filter, and an optional spacebar toggle
 
What I have in mind, is to quickly use an autohotkey-type program to easily load in my info, say "IconStatus", then tab over to the sql area and put "ItemCreated > now-10 and ItemCreated < now, then tab over to the sort area and put in WIKITag, and have a homemade saved filter set.

I completely agree. And waiting for the name filters, what I really miss is : 1- the ability to name/comment filters (using any fitting programming language convention) e.g. : /*this is a comment*/ //This is a comment #This is a comment 'This is a comment Etc. 2- The ability to save sets of filters : filter + alpha num.+ sort + date, and name them. These are then easy to recall.
