Description
What is the feature you'd like to have?
If users can filter the sections in the strings view, it will be easier to locate the important strings.
Is your feature request related to a problem?
I found that the strings view in IDA Pro only shows the strings in data sections (.data/.rdata/.idata/etc), which will reduce lots of junk strings. I think it's great that Binja shows all the strings to user, but for larger binary, it will be too overwhelmed, so letting user choose the default showing sections or add a filter will be a good option.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the strings view implementation and its handling of data sections, then clarify whether the feature should provide a default section selection, an interactive filter, or both; done means users can limit the displayed strings by section without losing the existing view.
