TL;DR

have the option to select "just" a quality as a signal

What?

if you select a inserter and enable filters you can set it to a quality (beside "any" as already posted: viewtopic.php?p=631950#p631950)
so now that inserter will pass all items that match the quality filter you set, the issue i have, there is no option to generate such a signal, constant combinators always require you to select a signal AND a quality, as a result i cant set the filter of a inserter to a quality (or multiple)
so it would be nice if we could 1) set such "pure" quality signals and 2) generate such "pure" quality signals with selector via "quality extraction"
(heck if we could send these "pure" quality signals to splitters that would be lovely)

Why?

because you are otherwise limited to 5 items with the same quality per inserter (instead of all items with the same quality)

That is a great example of a thing you can manually do but can't use logic to do the same. Which is kind of backwards as usually the game let you do basic stuff manually, and more advanced stuff with logic

+1 Would be very helpful when dynamically searching for quality options using circuits
