Getting started with Visual Filters is something "more advanced" users do, but they are often most useful to beginning users who don't yet know how to decipher the Context Menu entries ... or how to get the "right" entries to show. Some of the common filters, you are beginning to replace with more effective tools such as the Reader's view negating the need for many occurrence count filters. Other information you have in Interactives but not in the Bible proper.

Items I would suggest are "low hanging fruit" for visual filters:

  • Andersen-Forbes genres
  • Eissfeldt Hexateuch Source
  • Use of the Old Testament in the New
  • Louw-Nida discourse markers
  • Mowinkel Jeremiah Source
  • Names of God
  • Laws of the Old Testament
  • Key words for a Bible book according to a specified source

With some enhancement to visual filters, I would love to see:

  • grammatical roles
  • semantic roles

I could list others but this is a case where I think you need to draw a wide net of input - both what people actually have and what they wish they could have.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
