	The issue with keeping the filter sticky, if you pick a column, how do you go back to the full list or different filter to select another column which doesn't fit the current filter and so is not visible? If anyone has any usability suggestions, please let me know and I will file them too.

Sure. Here it is:
In the easiest way possible. When you want to select more than one columns using a filter, you do that by typing the filter and using the up, down and right arrow keys (with sticky filter that doesn't refresh after every selection) and when you want to reset the filter you just hit enter and if there are any more columns needed, you tap comma. That way you select the column, close the popup and open a new one without a filter. I know it's an excessive keypress but it's still less in cases when you have to repeatedly type the filter and it's only involved at the end of filtered selection (that is, once for every filtered group of columns, if there are any all). Optionally, the comma could select the column, close the popup and reopen it at the same time (sparing the excessive key). It doesn't make any sense to cut the column in half with a comma anyway.

I think this works well and seems to fit with how the tool behaves.
