Gmail labels and filters

Question

I have a bunch of filters set up to channel certain emails; label them and skip the inbox.

However, if I reveive an email that doesn't fit the filter criteria, and I label it manually, I would like it to operate under those filter specs, ie, disappear from the inbox in this case.

Is that possible? The only way I can find is to go into filter settings and "apply to all conversations" every time.

Instead of "Labeling" the mail, i.e. using the label icon, you can "Move" the mail to a label (using the Folder icon).
This will tag the mail with the right label and archive it (no more in the inbox).
