Replace full namespace references with aliases
In the additional namespace imports I put "using Outlook = Microsoft....Outlook".
When I'm in a call that wants something of that namespace, replace the full entry with just the alias Outlook.

CTRL-E to execute a query (for those of us who are used to it from QueryAnalyzer days)
User entering CTRL-E should execute a query justlike F5 does. I am in the habit of that keyboard combo from old queryanalyzer days

Hide ExtensionData properties in WCF client-generated classes
When adding a Service Reference via Visual Studio, it generates a class for each Data Contract. Each of these classes have an additional property named ExtensionData, which always contains an ExtensionDataObject (usually empty).
This creates a lot of noise when data returned by a WCF service using LINQPad's .Dump() extension method, due to the ExtensionData cells taking up most of the screen. In my opinion just like EntityState and EntityKey were hidden by default in LINQPad v4.37, so should ExtensionData properties be hidden by default.
This would create a much more pleasent exprience for those using LINQPad with a WCF…

Nullref in Dump() when ToString() returns null
I have an object whose ToString() implementation returns null in some instances. I noticed that when Dump() attempts to dump this object, it throws a nullref.
I have modified my code to no longer return null from the ToString(), but it ought to be trivial to update LinqPad to avoid this issue in the future.
Sample:
void Main()
{
new Bar().Dump(1);
}// Define other methods and classes here
public class Bar
{
public override string ToString()
{
return null;
}

allow setting of a 'default connection' for linqpad to use on startup
When I start up linqpad, it's always to use the same database (the database of the product I work on), but by default it lists "no connection". Rather than constantly making me set the connection, it would be nice to be able to flag one as the default connection (similar to a default printer).
Another option would be to default the connection to whatever was last used (this would be as effective for me since I'm always using the same one).
Yet another option would be that if there's only one connection defined in the Connections window, default to that…

Add support for Failover Partner when creating a SQL connection
We have 2 SQL servers set up with mirroring. Some databases are live on one and passive on the other and vice versa. It would be handy if I could put Failover Partner in the connection string to save me having to have 2 different connections.

Allow WCF Data Services libraries to be configurable
Since LINQPad is an OData client, it be great if we could configure it to use the latests WCF Data Services libraries, which are now released out of band from the Framework. e.g. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29306 is a release that supports Any/All queries, but LINQPad will throw a NotSupported exception when using the exact syntax explained here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astoriateam/archive/2011/05/31/any-all-support-in-wcf-data-services.aspx

Support F# under Visual Studio 2012/Windows 8
Currently, latest release looks for fsc.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft F#\v4.0\, but under VS 2012 on Win8, it's actually under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\F#\3.0\Framework\v4.0\

Query a collection created at a VS breakpoint.
be able to set a breakpoint in VS, and be able to transfer a collection that was created into the linqpad workspace. Quite often a collection is created after doing quite a bit of work in the way of web service calls, db queries etc... once all of this info has been gathered together in a collection in a running program, it would be awesome to then query that collection at a VS breakpoint.

Generate StoredProc or Func.
Please add the ability to generate a StoredProc or Func from linqToSql. This would be an awesome benefit for devs who hate working with TSQL.
Many Thanks

Change the snippet replacement colour to something readable when using dark theme
If I change the background colour of the editor to black, it enables a dark theme, which on the whole is great.
But if I use snippet replacements I can't read the replacement characters because the background colour is bright, light green and the foreground colour is white.
E.g. type "prop" then tab. The word "foo" is unreadable. If I start typing to replace "object", that text also becomes unreadable.

Launch web links in the default browser instead of IE.
I clicked a link in the connection dialog to the IQ toolkit and it launched IE. I suggest you use the default system browser.

Support for multiple databases (EF/L2S) on different servers
I would like to be able to query multiple databases, that are on different servers. Possible use would be "server.database.table" or something like that.

Support EF derived entity types in the schema tree
If one has derived entity types defined in the model and doesn’t use MEST (default scenario), the derived entities are not shown in the schema tree, since only entity sets defined in the model are currently shown. Per default it means only base entity types. It makes model exploration capability very limited. Consider a model where all the entities derive from a single base type MyObject (arguable but viable design). Then you end up with only one “table” entry MyObjects in the schema tree with few to none properties defined. All the hundreds of “real” types with all their valuable…
