have a place to input raw text as a connection
I'd like to be able to run queries against a JSON structure (e.g. pull all the orders out > 24 hours old or show status of customers). Right now I take my json save it in a folder e.g. C:\inputdata.txt and then have an extension method in Linqpad that loads from that text file. it would be great if I could dump text into linqpad directly and reference it within my various queries

Display connection properties summary on mouse over
I always rename connections so they have a meaningful names and I also use the create similar connection. Unfortunatly, this feature also copy the name and to figure out which of the two I should rename, having a tool-tip with the connection details would greatly help.

Convention for auto-discovering internal nuget server(s)
I'm deploying a tool to (technical) end users that uses linqpad as the UI. Before they can user it, we first have to tell them how to configure our internal nuget server.
I'd be great if there was a simple convention for discovering local nuget server(s), so this didn't have to be done manually.
I'm thinking of something a simple as - for domain-joined PCs - a probe to a server called 'nuget' (ie using the same DNS suffix), that just checks if it's responds validly using the nuget API. This could be a 'prompt on first install' action (or…

COBOL
COBOL programming (relative and index file organizations think of the fun!) would be great - but I'll be surprised if it is implemented.
The Idea being to make LinqPad into the first choice as an educational program tool.1 vote -
Allow viewing entire byte[] buffer contents
Linqpad does a nice job of rendering byte[] buffers (as hex), but truncates the display after like 20 bytes or so.
I'd be nice if when it did this the display was hyperlinked so you could click on the 'byte[]' and get a popup with the full* buffer displayed.
(I need to compare bytes-on-the-wire with what the application did/didn't manage to parse, and hacking this kind of popup in the query itself is painful)
- within reason. First few kb would be enough in most cases.

Support foreign key columns ending with "Fk" instead of "ID"
Currently entity navigation is optimized for table columns ending with the suffix "ID", for example a CustomerID will get a navigable "Customer" field created.
In a database where the pattern is like CustomerFk, the navigable field would be named CustomerFkEntity, which is painful to write each time in queries.
Please allow a more permissive foreign key naming detection or allow it to be configurable.

Create a serach index for linqpad queries
I create lots of Linqpad queries. Many times I have a question in my mind while coding. To answer I try something out in LINQPad and save my query somewhere in my directory tree.
Some months later I have the same (or a similar) question but can't find my query because there are lots of them.
I suggest you add a search index. It would make it easier to find old queries just from parts of the filename or query contents.1 vote -

Is there a way to implement OWIN ApplicationUserManager
public class ApplicationUserManager : UserManager<ApplicationUser>
{
}gives the followin error: The type 'UserQuery.ApplicationUser' cannot be used as type parameter 'TUser' in the generic type or method 'Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.UserManager<TUser>'. There is no implicit reference conversion from 'UserQuery.ApplicationUser' to 'Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.IUser<string>'.
Is there a way to resolve that?

Support Touch Interactions in the Code Editor
Many of the tool panes in Linqpad already support touch scrolling. This makes it very comfortable to use on a touch enabled device like a Surface. However the Code Editor does not support touch scrolling. Visual Studio recently introduced this feature and it is great for reading code on a tablet.
Please support this in the Linqpad editor also.

Tooltip balloon duration
When I examine the IL view of my code, I often hover over the OpCode instruction to read the description. The tooltip will show for a few seconds and then fades outs.
I would like to increase the duration of the tooltip balloon or disable the fading.

Save Query Custom Settings
I would like the ability to save "settings" in the query. For example, if ask to select a file, I would like to save the file that was selected for the next time I run the query. This would be perfect if I could save the data inside the query file XML section.

Allow option to prompt before executing production queries.
I love that you allow users to flag production connections and you make it visually obvious when a production database is being used.
A configurable option (even if the default is off) to present the user with a simple "OK"/"Abort" confirmation dialog before executing a query against a production database could serve to save users from terrible mistakes. I am very grateful that I myself have not made this mistake, but it would be a very easy thing to do that could be avoided with a couple of lines of validation.
One could recommend that query authors write this into…

Fix clicking on explorer item hyperlink navigation
I'm making a Context Driver for a DB2 relational database, and I found that setting the ExplorerItem.Hyperlink makes the appropriate item (Column) look like a hyperlink. If I click on it nothing happens. If I expand the referenced ExplorerItem's Parent (table) then scroll back up and click on hyperlink it works as expected.

AutoComplete object type filtering (Similar to ReSharper)
Like many others, I've grown to love certain features of ReSharper. One such feature is the ability to filter the AutoCompletion list by object type using keyboard shortcuts or by clicking on the icon of the object type (such as namespace, class, interface, property, field, etc.). I think that this would be a really nice addition to LINQPad.

Give each query a unique ID
I currently have a support assembly I use to make queries more dynamic (e.g. asking for input) and I save the history in a file. To organize the history I use the query path, but sometimes the query gets moved. I would like to have a unique query ID for every query created (i.e. GUID?)

Make linqpad an universal app.
I know it would require pretty much remake the entire interface; but maybe it is time to look into the future :D ...
