Setting filter based on item held in hand

[Zaflis]

TL;DR

Holding an item in hand, middle-clicking in inventory should set it as a filter slot.

What?

In image i'm holding the modded coin item, but when i middle-clicked it the slot went bricks. It would filter bricks even if i wasn't holding anything in hand.

Why?

Because it is now difficult to actually set the filter to coin that i wanted. I'll have to do 1 of 2 things:
1) Open game settings and turn off inventory sorting. Sorry but i am used to play with sorting and i don't want it off, i'd have to turn it on again after setting filter.

2) Empty my whole inventory however big it is to some chests, and then set the filter so items like those bricks don't come in the way.

And because holding or not holding currently makes no difference, it's like a missed feature opportunity. I'm holding an item, clearly i want to do something with it. It's not there just a decoration.

If this idea were to happen, i'd assume a new sorting takes place afterwards so that misplaced items would be taken out of it if possible. No sorting needed if inventory has no free slots to shuffle items to.
