TL;DR

Quick stack buttons for chests, factories etc. Allow quick stack items "from your"/"to your" inventory. Allow quick factories filling etc.

What ?

1) Stuck similat. Quick stack button that allows you to stuck similar items from your inventory to the chest's.
Before "Quick stack"

After "Quick stack"

2) Stuck all items. Quick stack all items from inventory to the chest.
3) Get all. Get all items from the chest.
4) Similar buttons for factories quick filling.

Why ?

It improve work with items. Speed up the process of unloading and loading inventory.

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
