Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
Add a bar at the bottom of the symbols window to give summary stats of the current view.
i.e. a list of the total number of items in the current view, the number currently selected, the number of the different types in view.

This would be handy for when you are filtering function names or symbols that share the same library or annotation and you can see the quantity you are dealing with immediately.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Just quality of life/UX.

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
N/A
