UI makes it harder to start a pcap filtered capture than before

Hi,

First, I must say I am thank you, fine gentlemen, affording me time.

at work I shark using old version. :)
I, just yesterday, got new version at home. My new version at home has much
more difficult to start a pcap    (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

ordinarily I press ctrl+k to open the Capture Options dialog because as an
advanced user I prefer advanced control of my packet sniffing. This was
easy to use pcap filter just start typing the pcap filter as soon as done
pressing ctrl+k very fast, very pro. Now, I find new interface, ctrl+k I
can not press any keyboard combinatorics to open the window to type in
pcap. Space deselects the interface. Enter deselects interface. Tab will
not shift focus. F6 will not shift focus. Instead, I am required to take
fingers off keyboard, move to mouse, and either double click or at least
move focus away from the check box and press enter.
I would preference to retroactively capture with easily accessible pcap
filter input rather than requiring new hotness using-the-mouse, which is
not fast, not pro at all.

frustrating. If any in their kind heart had room to fix this next version,
much appreciation and thanks.

thx regards and gl all
