I agree that it is nice and of course that it adds some things compared 
with the old design: Both in functionality - easier accessible then in 
the Standard filter - and in key strokes needed for simple filtering to 
one item.

I think key handling will be greatly winn with three small improvements:
 a- A as accelerator key for all,
 b- select item by typing a letter
 c- Alt-Enter for OK when focus is in the list area.
Steps 3-10 from above would then be
 - Alt-A
 - Tab
 - <letter> ( + arrow  if needed)
 - Alt-Enter
Compared with the old situation it's only Alt-A and Tab extra.

What do you think?
