  1. Pretty simple - lets me keep my hands closer to the money spot on the keyboard. I find F5 to be disrupting to my keyboard position.

  2. Sometimes it's very time-consuming for LINQPad to automatically repopulate the schema/datacontext with each run of a query. It would be great if there were a manual refresh mode, with the option to manually refresh the schema. (I'd even be able to live without the ability to trigger a refresh in a Query window, as the workaround presumably would be to save and reload the query, or to clone it.)

    Great product. I purchased autocomplete I love this thing so much, but I'd love it more with this feature.

    Thanks!

  3. The enhanced search for assembly references is perfect. It would be great if VS2010/F# adopted it like you built it.

    It would be great to have an auto update on reference version that are no longer found. I frequently update the Rx.NET references and it's pain to update every single .linq files.

  5. When I copy/paste from Visual Studio to LINQPad (and back) I have to rename all the table variables to the real table names.
    If I could alias a table, e.g. "Products" into "myProductsTable" the transition from VS to LP would be smooth.

  6. A driver or mode that executes a program but does not execute any LINQ to SQL changes but instead captures these in a new SQL script you can save.

  7. Don't block the UI thread when doing some expensive work. I'm using LINQPad at work and at home (ironically I paid for my home license but am using the unregistered version one at work) and at work I connect to large databases with thousands of tables and LINQPad takes a long time to "deal" with scripts connecting to these kinds of databases but it would help with a progress bar or at least some notion of "I'm busy" rather than the ghost whitening of the UI.

    Otherwise thanks for a superb product. :-)

  8. It would be great if the Ctrl+E SSMS shortcut would be enabled as an alternative to F5. It's easier to reach and makes sense (E for Execute).

  9. Would be nice to be able to use LINQPad to test WCF Data Services with the ability to set HTTP Request Header variables as part of the connection settings. That way we could simulate passing a value like an API Key in the Header.

  10. Currently when mulitple columns of data are copied from LINQPad and pasted to a Google Spreadsheet they result in a single column of data, whereas pasting to Excel preserves the columns.

    Supporting Google Spreadsheets would save us Google Apps/Docs users from the extra step of copying or exporting to Excel.

  11. Allow users to submit scripts to a LINQPad online script repository and have ratings and view counts to sort by.

    Turn on "ambient intellisense" (ambient autocomplete) for extension methods not downloaded but provided on the Web. (Build and maintain index on client). And a magic key combo to automatically download that extension and any dependencies it has on other ambient code. Show reviews, ratings and view count in client.

  12. Great stuff, I'm using it to test a REST service - but it requires a querystring parameter for the apikey. It would be great to have a collection of querystring params that are appended to the url.

  15. Fairly self explanatory. If a CLR Stored Procedure is defined on a database, I should be able to call it from LinqPad. As of now, they don't show up in the tree and I can't call it directly.

  16. It would be great if LP could support source control integration using the SCC-compatible source control interface (Ex. Beyond Compare 3).

  19. Probably Just Me (and I think I could do it myself using MSCHart Add in). but sometimes I would like to be able to do very simple charts of my queries results. Scatter, Block Chart and May Be Pie Chart would probably be enough. like a light weight matlab....

  20. When I am creating a query as soon as I type 'from' and press tab, a default query template is automatically inserted into the editor for me. I would like to have a preference added that would allow the disabling of this behavior similar to the existing 'Enable lambda snippets on query operators' preference. Thanks.
