Description
I understand that it will not be possible to allow simultaneous filtering (provider feature filter) and editing of an OGR layer like Shapefile, GeoPackage, plain SQLite ("editing on a filtered layer won't be possible because of the way OGR provider construct a filtered layer", #17795-6). But with SpatiaLite (and other databases?) it should presumably be possible, and in QGIS2 it is (example: https://gis.stackexchange.com/a/231046).
But in QGIS 3.0 the edit option is unavailable when a filter is applied on a SpatiaLite layer. A regression?

Update: user error. I'd added the SpatiaLite layer via the Vector menu, and therefore it wasn't recognized as SpatiaLite. When added as SpatiaLite it works as desired.
It would be user-friendly to check SQLite data sources for SpatiaLite functionality and offer to use it when it is available.

Due to the way different providers are implemented in QGIS, this is not going to happen unless we proceed with a deep refactoring of the code.
Feel free to open a feature request, but I doubt it will be implemented.

let's keep it open as feature request then, even if is a long shot.

It's getting a bit confusing what the feature request is about now.
1. My initial question was about editing filtered SpatiaLite, which actually works already.
2. Then I wondered whether SpatiaLite could be recognized when opening the database via the (wrong) vector menu (i.e. propose to open as SpatiaLite instead of plain SQLite).
3. But now the title is changed to "Editing of a filtered OGR vector layer", which as I understood from Alessandro Pasotti's comment https://issues.qgis.org/issues/17795#note-6 is not possible.
Are we leaving this open as feature request for 2 or 3?
