Have you had a look at the Physical Constants palette? This comes with
Mathematica and is found in the Help Browswer under
GettingStarted | Demos | Palettes | Physical Constants
or, if you paste the following cell into a Notebook and follow the
hyperlink, the palette will open automatically:
Cell[TextData[ButtonBox["Physical Constants",
ButtonData:>{
FrontEnd`FileName[ {$TopDirectory, "Documentation", "English",
"GettingStarted", "Demos", "Palettes", "PhysicalConstants.nb"}],
None},
ButtonStyle->"Hyperlink",
ButtonNote->None]], "Text"]

I think you'll find that this palette addresses most of your problems.
Since palettes are fully editable you should be able to extend this
demo as you want.
Cheers,
Paul
