Show shortcuts in the My Queries pane
Simulate more Win Explorer-like behavior in the My Queries pane with respect to folder shortcuts. If I add a shortcut to another folder location in the folder designated for my queries... I can click that folder shortcut to navigate to the folder containing to those queries. This would probably also necessitate some navigation buttons for the pane (back/forward).
Now.. you may ask why not just store all my queries under a single folder. I am sure there are many reasons why one might wish to store their queries in various locations... but my main reason is that I keep some…

Make Nuget DependencyVersion property configurable
If pulling a nuget package into a query, Linqpad seems to use -DependencyVersion Lowest. This works fine, if the package dependencies are maintained properly, but often it fails.
If the public interface of the referenced package changes, but the package dependencies are not adjusted after an update, the package cannot be loaded in Linqpad.
An example is the Splat dependency of the ReactuveUi package.
It would be great to be able to set the DependencyVersion or update the referenced dlls.

Enable VM license on Parallels Desktop for Mac?
Licensing page currently indicates "three activations for virtual machines running VMWare, MS Virtual PC, Hyper-V, Azure Roles, or Azure VMs".
Would it be possible to add Parallels Desktop for Mac to this list? I'm a single user with a Premium license and I already use my desktop licenses on my three PCs. Nothing left to use on my Mac Win10 VM under Parallels. :(
Thanks!

Please expand the find-replace tool to allow multiline find and replace text.
Recently, I needed to combine lots of single row inserts SQL statements into multi-row insert statements, which involved removing the semi-colon at the end of each single insert, a commit, and the following insert statement up to the actual values of the insert, which spanned 5 text lines in the script I was writing. With a multiline find-replace tool this would be easy. With the find-replace tool only being able to operate on one line at a time this is much harder.

Add "Export To Visual Studio" to generate a solution and project based on the LINQPad script
LINQPad is awesome for quick scripts, but sometimes they grow to the point that you just have to promote them to a full-blown Visual Studio project. It would be awesome to have a feature to be able to do a "Save As Solution", which would generate a Visual Studio compatible Solution and Project, and move your code into a new class as well as providing a generated DataContext.

Use Warning Icon (not Error icon) when searching for nugets from standard edition
When searching for nugets from standard edition, a dialog is displayed saying you can only search for packages that contain linqpad samples.
That dialog shows an error icon, not a warning icon, which seems like the wrong semantics (it's a warning of limited functionality, not an error that something doesn't work). It'd be good if the text started with 'Warning:' also.
I know this looks like splitting hairs, but this just genuinely confused an end-user, who assumed my instructions were wrong.

BUG: Custom Context Driver is locked until closing linqpad
I'm building a Context Driver for a relational database and the documentation says to edit the DevDeploy.Bat file to copy the binaries to the context folder. Two things, one is that the documentation needs to get updated to reflect the new "per user" folder location as well as the "Framework 4.6" folder. And lastly (but more importantly) Visual Studio will fail to build because the bat file exits with error code 4. I close LINQPad and I can than build properly.

Add support for f# type providers
F# 3.0 type providers seem like they would fit in quite well with the LINQPad-as-data-explorer mission.

Allow option of NOT navigating to empty datagrid when collection contains 0 items - just show placeholder immediately.
I love linqpad and find it more useful than SSMS for many operations. One feature that I would find AWESOME, would be to provide an option to NOT navigate to an empty results grid when there are no entries in the grid.
Kind of like when you click on a Collection in an object Dump datagrid and the collection is Null, it just says null immediately. I would love it if when I clicked a navigation collection from a linq-to-sql (or any datagrid query), and there are no items in the target collection, it would just show 0 items (which…

Analyze SQL to allow option to open sql in editor of my choice
Currently there are two options I can select
1) Open as SQL Query in new tab
2) Open in SQL Management StudioIt would be nice to have it open in editor of my choice, eg Open in Toad or Open using PL/SQL developer, as these would give me option to further analyze the query.

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
