include javascript/jQuery support
since I believe you said the output pane is already IE/browser based, how about allowing us to point linqpad at an html file, local site, or web page, and let us run javascript snippets or bookmarklets against it for testing? Currently I've not single single decent lightweight javascript or jQuery IDE, even less if you want to test bookmarklets

Adding New Connection defaults
Add a tab to the "Preferences" dialog for "New Connection Defaults". Allow the user to specify certain defaults for creating new connections. I often create a new connection (with the program defaults), then have to delete the connection and re-created to turn off "Pluralize EntitySet and Table properties" and "Capitalize property names". It would be nice if I could turn those off by default.

Documentation generation
When you have long code in LinqPad (Several classes in one file) it is really helpful if we can have some documentation. However currently linqpad does not do anything in this area. As a start, it can generate the documentation skeleton when user type /// above the method, property etc. Then if that can be evolved to do the auto documentation generation from the method/property names (like GostDoc), that would be awesome!

Allow database connection to be disconnected.
I have a lot of database connections that contain a lot of databases. This means my database drop down contains a lot of databases.
It would be nice to be able to put the connection in a disconnected state and the databases in that connection would not show up in the database list.
Then you would be able to "reconnect" or "enable" the connection and the database would be available again.
This way I can leave all my connection configured and only "enable" or "connect" to the database that I need to work with.

transpose output - same way as when using First() but for more rows
I have some tables with lot of columns, but only several rows, it would be nice to transpose the output to have SQL table column names on the left and SQL records (rows) in columns
Such transformation should be used, when some collection returns only one record (in nested table - Navigation property)6 votes -
Make "insert special" customisable
It would be cool to be able to add our own items in insert special (the top right of the data grid in premium), I suppose this is a super-feature of having a date picker

sticky column headings in results view
I can see that there are sticky columns in the grid, but it was also be great to have them in the results view.
Perhaps when scrolling between different result sets it sticks to the current visible result set.

Export and import preferences and connections
I use LINQPad on three different computers. It would be very helpful to be able to export the preferences and connections from one so they can be imported into another instance.

Export result to XML
It would be nice to export the result to xml. Two possibilities XML-Node and XML-Attribute. If the user chooses XML-Attribute one Data record is one XML node with all fields as Attribute, Nesting Levels are Nodes.

Autocomplete Linq-SQL basic methods
xx.InsertOnSubmit()
xx.DeleteOnSubmit()
SubmitChanges()and other basic LINQPad advertised as replacement for SQL Management for daily tasks should autocomplete even on the free version for users to get an idea of how well the autocomplete is working.
For example it could be enabled only on LINQ entities and that SubmitChanges(). All other objects should show no auto-complete and on manual autocomplete request an informative buy upgrade message.

Add the Expression Tree Visualizer
The Expression Tree Visualizer is a fantastic tool to shed some light on exactly what happens when an expression tree is invoked. It's especially useful when building your own from scratch, and some visibility on how LINQ does it would be a real bonus!
50 votesAre you aware that you can call .Dump() on an expression? The output is not exactly the same as the Expression Tree Visualizer, but it conveys much of the same information. Is there anything missing from what you see that you’d like added? Or anything that you’d like changed?

Make Dump() extension method available in Visual Studio
Dump() extension method is #1 reason I love and use LinqPad.
It would be great if I could add LinqPad.exe as reference to my Visual Studio project and call Dump() extension method on any of my objects.
As Visual Studio does not have any window to display HTML we could have two variants to Dump() extension method
DumpHTML() which return output as HTMLtext and
DumpText() which returns the output as space formatted text in a ASCII TableUser may choose to print the output to the Console, Output Window or write to the disk.
I you think generating ASCII table…

Allow Multiple Folders (like Win7 libraries) for "My Queries"
It would be nice to have the ease-of-access of folders in different locations throughout your computer within the "My Queries" window.
Similar to WIndows 7 Libraries that allow you to add multiple music directories to "My Music" etc. This would be in case you have a folder that you store work queries that you share with others but also a personal folder for your own queries.

Can this be added? (Is it possible?)

put "X" to close a tab in the tab itself, like VS2010
Like the change from VS2008 to VS2010, the "X" icon to close a file is on the right-hand side of the tab (at least for western languages)

Reorder the parameters when using F1 key to search for documentation
The ability to search the documentation via google by pressing the F1 key is great, however the order of the terms is a bit different than titles in the MSDN docs.
For example, pressing F1 on the someType.Namespace queries the google for:
System Type.Namespace property
which doesn't yield expected results, however:
Type.Namespace property System
does. Should take less time to fix than it took me to write this :)
