Changed my CPU recently and intend to change it again before the end of the year after the Zen 3 release.

My JetBrains software continued to work fine, my Visual Studio continued to work fine, only LINQPad was deactivated and I had to do the license transfer.

Why is that and why do you have to deactivate the software if I change my CPU and what if I run out of transfers? Tough luck?

I think this is a trivial addition but it would add a very useful feature for similarly named files.

Set a default property for child to show in collapsed mode. Eg. Category name is enough to describe the category object.

When querying data with xml, a malformed xml should not stop the querying of other rows. Linqpad should show where the malformed xml is and get the other columns.

When a script completes with warnings... provide a method for jumping to the line in the script that surfaces the warning. Perhaps clicking on the warning message (jump to first warning line)... or at least including the line number(s) of warnings.

Dark mode doesn't change the color of the title bar or the buttons and controls on the toolbar.

Also, dark mode feels extremely clunky as most parts of the app start as white and change to dark several seconds later. It's not unusable since it does go dark eventually but if that could be fixed, it would be a considerably less jarring user experience.

Have an option to show whitespace in Data Grid results. Currently, the display of whitespace is only respected in the Rich Text results.

i love the product :) . minor request. Can you update it so that holding the middle button down lets you also scroll left and right in the code panel? the results panel already lets you do this when it's full enough. this would help a lot for when i leave the results upon on the right side of the screen.

Currently planning an upgrade from 2.X to 3.X and I'm hunting down queries that are client-evaluated, would be great if LINQPad would show those warnings when running queries

Add support for c# local ref vars in the watch window.

For example given code like below

void Main()

{

    var sx = new st { i = 1 };

    ref var rx = ref sx;

    rx.i.Dump();

}

struct st { public int i; }

Add support for the expression rx.i in the watch window

We share queries extensively at work using a synchronization tool. I've always wished Linqpad build this in so I could keep some of my personal queries from view more easily. In addition, I love the samples. I'd like to see a public repo where anyone could save queries or simply share their libraries via Github.

Similar to the great new Shelve feature and combined with Named tabs I would like to be able to save my open tabs and give that group of tabs a name and be able to re-open them together. When working on projects I often have several related tabs open and when I go back to work on that project again, I often want all the same tabs so it would be great to be able to reopen all at once. A file that just opens other .linq files into their own tabs.

Support color settings besides basic dark/light or theme choice. Some people are colorblind and util.dif output uses red/green which could be tough. Allow customization of different color values like visual studio does.

The code refactoring support in LINQPad is limited to just symbol renaming. As the script grows over period of time it becomes unmanageable due to lack of refactoring support in the LINQPad IDE.

string str = "ABC";

string Duplicate()
{
return str + str; // str is not recognized by the debugger
}

Duplicate();

I haven't been able to find a setting to turn this off:

I use LINQPad a lot with a lot of proprietary company code and connections. I love the instant share feature, but it would be awesome if we could set a custom share location that wasn't public, for example a custom path to a file share. Thanks!

Lately, it seems every time I open the application, I get a message that a new version has been downloaded, do I want to restart LinqPad. Give me a configuration option where I can say, auto restart Linqpad when new version downloaded on start.

With the new Uncapsulate method in the beta, I tried dumping the internals of an unfinished task, because I'm trying to learn more about some internals of the tasks and the task scheduler.

However, it dumps as "awaiting...".

Could there be a way to force a dump now, even though the task hasn't finished? In my case, it was a task that will never finish because I created it expressly to know what the internals look like before it has completed.

So this:

new Task(() => { }).Uncapsulate().Dump();

will just show "awaiting...".
