make history filters horizontal

[martenson]

there is a lot of wasted space making the interface harder to navigate since the actual data are pushed to the narrow view in the bottom of the screen

Bonus points for rephrasing the "Filter on..." texts to something better and reusing the X as a visual for cancel instead of the loop arrow.

Is it ok if we use the faAngleDoubleUp instead of faTimes (X):

Also, instead of creating a horizontal variant of the FilterMenu (which behaves weird because of different types/widths of potential filters for the FilterMenu), is it a better thing to have a popover version of it?:

My 2c is that either cancel button should have an X or be without an icon. Having different icons for the same functionality in different contexts is a source of confusion.

You might also consider dropping the cancel button from these interfaces altogether since it just duplicates the functionality of the toggle dropdown button.

As of the popover this might be one of the better uses for it but I would be concerned about accessibility.

For the cancel button, i think this is a good idea, I'll just drop it
