Show script summary in My Queries
While i try to store my snippets with a name which gives me a hint about what i try to accomplish, it would be helpful if i could place a ///<summary> code comment at the beginning. To display this information it could be either an info icon (which is only shown when a summary comment exists), an expansion panel with the summary below the script name or simply as tooltip.

security vulnerability
I noticed I can do the following below and it shows the password in my connection string.
string sConnection = Util.GetMyQueries().First().GetConnectionInfo().DatabaseInfo.GetCxString();
sConnection.Dump();
I would prefer it did not do this.

Better and more user-friendly way to use the AI
Why not instead of (or besides) the new complex UI created to send messages to the AI, just add a new "Language" type to the drop down, called AI or something, and allow the users to create the question in the code editor, this way we can use more natural approach to ask anything to the AI, then, the result, you could write them in the Results section, using some Markdown to HTML library to render similar to the Dump results but with formatted text.

Restore the old normal top menu bar
I don't remember this being the case in older versions of LinqPad, but in Linqpad 8 the menu bar only extends across the top of the left-hand sidebar area, it doesn't go all the way across the editor tabs pane
It is too small and difficult to use.

Add setting to automatically run AI completions
Add setting to automatically run AI completions just like VS does with GitHub Copilot. For the first time in over a decade I've found my LINQPad use has gone down dramatically due the lack of automatic completions. Once you get used to coding with Github Copilot in VS, coding without it feels very clunky and slow.
Yes you can press CTRL+Space to manually invoke it but that's a lot of extra keystrokes and I never think to do it.
Yes, it would cost the user more in AI credits, but that's a price I'd be happily willing to pay!

Praise from Claude Sonnet 3.7
The way LinqPad handles containers and UI updates works really well for this type of admin tool. The separation of different UI sections makes the workflow intuitive:
Enter a user ID and find the user
See the current permissions
Make your changes
Save and see the resultsThis approach could easily be adapted for other administrative tasks like:
Managing user roles
Configuring application settings
Reviewing and approving content
Batch processing operationsIt's impressive how much functionality LinqPad offers for creating quick utility tools like this. You get a lot of the benefits of a full GUI application without the overhead…

winget
Would it be possible to remove the winget dependency on the sdk? I have dotnet 9 SDK installed, but the dependency forced an install of the dotnet 8 SDK. I realize I could use
--skip-dependencies, but I typically do awinget upgrade --alland forget to add it.1 vote -
drop down of queries could show the connection name as well.
I often have many queries against the same db schema against different connections (eg dev, qa, staging) and it would make it much easier to find the right on if it included the connection name in the queries drop down

Fix a bug where custom LinqPad drivers cannot be found on Nexus and Azure DevOps NuGet feeds
Hi,
I have written a custom linqpad driver and published it to our internal NuGet feed.
In the past there were no problems installing this driver.After updating out Nexus OSS server to the latest version, the driver cannot be found anymore.
I get the same behaviour on our Azure DevOps Feed.So I did some debugging and found out, that the filtering of the tags is pretty weird across the existing NuGet servers.
When searching for custom drivers, LinqPad creates the following url:
...v3/query/beta?q=tags:linqpaddriver%20&skip=0&take=40&prerelease=false&semVerLevel=2.0.0
The filtering is applied via "tags:linqpaddriver%20"Here my problems begin...
The nexus server does not…4 votes -
dump as c# class initialisation
A new dump method that could dump as a C# class initialisation, eg
new Foo() {
MyProp = 27,
MyString = "a string"
},
new Foo() {
MyProp = 39,
MyString = "another string"
}etc

Enable HierarchyId type option for type data context
LINQPad supports the HierarchyId type for automatically built data contexts. However, a typed context from an own assembly does not have this option. It can be addressed by overriding the OnConfiguring-method and doing this manually. However, this still renders the expand feature in the connections-tree uselses.

dark mode
Dark mode in MacOS v8.103.1 works, but the entire UI flashes different shades of grey with the cursor blink. - makes it unusable for me.

Allow linqpad.exe to be referenced from VS again
Messages from the past suggest that it is possible to add linqpad executable as an assembly reference to Visual Studio projects and use it to generate HTML output of the wonderful Dump() method. This is not possible anymore, based on my attempts with VS 2022 running on Windows 10. I would gladly pay, or pay extra to be able to do this, but having it back as part of the standard paid distribution would be a much welcome improvement.

Allow enumerating or traversing the differences returned by the Util.Dif
The result of Util.Dif can currently (v 8.6.6) be only checked as whole by the "IsSame" property, or dumped in the output window.
It would be useful to be able to traverse the differences programmatically.
The diff tree already exists and is visible in Debugger view, but all the classes are internal and not easily accessible.

Back and Forward buttons
Back and Forward buttons just like in VS and Rider. It makes it so much easier to navigate back and forth in the code.

Allow theme to sync with system
In Windows 11 (maybe others too) you can change the system theme and programs (and even websites!) that have their theme set to "sync with system" will change accordingly.
Make LINQpad switch between the light and dark theme depending on what the windows theme is set to.

Allow streaming output for Util.SyntaxColorText
The method
Util.SyntaxColorTextshould get an overload that allows to stream source code to the output window:Examples
```csharpUtil.SyntaxColorText(Stream stream, SyntaxLanguageStyle language, bool autoFormat = false);
Util.SyntaxColorText(IObservable<string> observable, SyntaxLanguageStyle language, bool autoFormat = false);
```This is useful when getting the output stream of an LLM and want to syntax highlight the output in real-time, as new data returns from the LLM endpoint.
It would also be helpful to have Markdown together with code syntax highlighting and MathJax plugins as an formatting option, since most LLMs are trained to provide this syntax as output.

Point LinqPad AI helper to Ollama
Thanks for the AI helper! I'd like to see that helper
able to point to a model hosted by a local instance
of Ollama. Ollama can serve on localhost:11434, and
can accept/return JSON documents. Ollama would
take some additional work for a developer to set up,
but they'd have free and private queries.4 votes -
