I don't see the benefit above the already established SHIFT and CTRL + LMB (RMB) isn't that fast enough?
Furthermore, once personal logistics and trash slots are researched, manual inventory transfer becomes nearly irrelevant.

I played 39 hours and still use manual filling, not everywhere, but often! I don't know what the game will give me later, but now quick buttons would help me a lot!

Firstly avoid manual filling like the plaque, it becomes, like hand crafting, tedious. It's so by design.
Secondly, again, what benefit would an extra UI element have, above the interaction commands mentioned before (SHIFT/CTRL + LMB/RMB)?
Considering in particular, that you don't need to open an entities UI to fill or get items from it.

That can already be done via Ctrl+Left-mouse-button on an empty space in your inventory.

There's also mods for making it easier to distribute items into chests/machines: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/even-distribution
