   ### Description
   
   The navigator window has four filters at the moment:
   
   - `Show inherited members`
   - `Show fields`
   - `Show static Methods and Variables`
   - `Show non public members`
   
   I suggest the following changes/additions:
   
   ### • Add `Show constants` filter
   
   Analogue to `Show fields` a `Show constants` filter would probably be very 
useful.
   
   ### • Add `Show uses` filter
   
   Having many "uses" fills the navigator list with stuff thats often more like 
noise. They are all at one place at the beginning of the file anyway so I would 
prefer to be able to toggle their display in the navigator.
   
   ### • Consistency in hover popups / popup menu entries
   
   While being at it, a rather small cosmetic changes comes to mind (nothing 
that improves productivity, just noticed):
   
   The hover popups in the filter pane are named:
   
   - `Show inherited members`
   - `Show fields`
   - `Show static Methods and Variables`
   - `Show non public members`
   
   Whereas the menu entries you get in the Filters menu when right click the 
navigator are named:
   
   - `Show Inherited Members`
   - `Show Fields`
   - `Show Static Methods and Variables`
   - `Show Non Public Members`
   
   I guess having both either lowercase or both capitalized (looking at other 
menues thats probably the way to go) would be a good idea.
   
   ### Use case/motivation
   
   IMHO the suggested changes would improve the usefulness of the navigator.
