Feature: tui should allow "zooming into" certain data / interactively create filters

Usecase: You see a high number of requests coming in (live access-log) and want to analyse live what's going on.

You see that a certain virtualhost is the target and want to select from the sorted list of vhosts a certain entry to interactively add to the filter. Then this filter would apply to all modules. If maybe you see that a certain response-code is a target (like 500 response) add a filter for only those responses to the filter. Or add the ability to simply edit the filter manually (adjusting filter-rules), maybe only showing requests that take longer than a certain amount of time or so.

Maybe even allow saving/loading filters, so you can prepare filters for next use, either discarding them when you exit the tui or save/load them upon using the tui again.

I saw there are some issues/feature-requests regarding filtering (some quite long standing) which could maybe be targeted as well with a central filter-implementation.
