Hi,
when setting filters to a layer (Properties -> General -> Provider feature
filter), it becomes uneditable by default.
If you like to filter data and go on working with the result, you better
not use the filter, but use the "Select by expression"-button (the yellow
square with the curvy E in the Attributes Toolbar.
Apply the same query there as you used for the filter, but then save the
selection to a new shapefile e.g.
In case you just like to filter out other data cause it is disturbing
while working with the attributes table, you could apply the query there
(left-down corner -> Advanced Filter (Expression) to just show the subset,
while keeping all features of the layer.
Hope I caught your use case

Hi,
I am relatively inexperienced with QGIS though I have used some of the
features a lot.
While working through the online training manual with QGIS 2.12, I found
that, after filtering the shape files extracted from the >OSM exercise
data, the 'toggle editing' button was greyed out, and there seemed to be
no way to re-activate editing. However, shape >files imported directly
into QGIS do not have this problem.
I have seen related comments in other places and apologise for the
inconvenience if this is a well-known problem, with an easy fix. >So how
do I fix it?
Thanks
Roy
