Guys, thanks for feedback!

when typing into the filter text box, the Space key currently selects the current item. I would prefer if it just added a space character to the text box so space could be used for filtering.
Well, it possible to intercept that keystroke, but it'll strongly contradict with a default UI behavior in macOS - Space bar is always used to trigger a currently focused element.

the list shortcuts ([0..9], '-', '=') interfere with filtering. E.g., if there are list items like 'foo_2016', 'foo_2017'... and I start typing 'foo_' then the character '2' opens the shortcut 2 and can't be used for filtering. Maybe the shortcuts can be disabled when filtering is active?
Yep, just checked - it's possible to remove these hotkeys after something was entered as a filter.
It's not a big deal to implement it, although it won't help with items like "2016_foo" - in this case a hotkey will be triggered before I can intercept a keyboard input.

I would like if list items could be dragged up/down or deleted from the lists directly so I wouldn't need to open up Favorites manager (Cmd+Ctrl+B) for little changes. E.g., holding Opt would add a delete icon in front of the entries and Click would delete an entry.
Oh, this goes far beyond an expected functionality of generic menus. To implement it I need to firstly write a custom menu-like control from scratch.

Favorites manager could be closed using Esc rather than only with Cmd+W.
Right, forgot to wire it. Done.

Currently, the NC's favorites can be reset to Finder's favorites. Is there a way to keep them in sync so that changes in NC affect Finder's Favorites and vice versa?
I wouldn't count on that. The only "official" way to somehow interact with Finder's Favorites was deprecated in 10.11 and still there's no replacement.

These menus do not support wrap-around. But previously, because there was no initial selection, I could have pressed "UP" and the last element would be selected. It was handy, but now it's not possible.
Huh.. my first thought was like "ok, but you can press a Home button, right?".
And then I realized that there's no dedicated Home button on MacBooks.
Ok, might it be a good compromise to move a menu focus only after some filter input?
