To remedy your problem just assign your favorite mode settings to the keys. Then there is no need for you to constantly review the filter. Keys assignments are there way to go to speed up your design process. You don't want your mouse spending valuable time rummaging around in all those menus. Better to have your mouse pushing the board's graphics around. Here are two examples that I use, all within "General Edit mode". My "a'" key allow me to route the board. The filter is settings- Pins, Vias, Cline segs. Then right next to the route key "s" I have assigned the "slide" command. The filter is set to- Vias and Clines segs. Outside of the routing commands I have assigned Move, Done and delete to keys as well. These are the commands most used throughout the design process. So best to put them all on the keys to keep you out of those menus. For the less used stuff then go and change the filter manually.
