This was easy to use pcap filter just start typing the pcap filter as soon as done pressing ctrl+k very fast, very pro. Now, I find new interface, ctrl+k I can not press any keyboard combinatorics to open the window to type in pcap. Space deselects the interface. Enter deselects interface. Tab will not shift focus. F6 will not shift focus. Instead, I am required to take fingers off keyboard, move to mouse, and either double click or at least move focus away from the check box and press enter.
