  1. Starting editor line breaks with a tab (or spaces) when breaking long statements

    When writing long statements (Specially Linq fluent statements) we tend to break them into multiple lines. However the first line break in LP starts at the same position as the first line and we always need to tab (or spaces) so that lines from 2nd onward appears nicely.

  3. Implement or give examples of Dbus (with dbus-sharp) integration

    Dbus is a cross platform desktop integration bus, and has properties similar to Activex and Com. This would be to allow LINQpadto glue windows applications (when run in wine) to a Linux Desktop, or Mono application with Dbus support on a mac.

  4. Exclude #region/#endregion from code indents

    The indent command shouldn't indent the #region/#endregion statements just like it doesn't indent #if/#endif.

  6. Make the "Production" flag configurable at a server level

    I often connect to databases individually on a Production server because of the way our security works. These connections are temporary and transient for security reasons.
    Rather than marking a connection as Production each time it would be helpful if I could configure the server as a Production server and then each time I connect to an individual database it is automatically marked as Production.
    Thanks!

  7. Include total number of items if dumped object is collection

    When collection contains more items than the limit in the rich text mode the header says "First n rows". If the object implements ICollection or IReadOnlyCollection it would be nice to show "First n rows of {dumpedObject.Count}"

  8. Provide option to disable tool tips in C# editor

    The tool tips for the function signatures, such as Select, Join, GroupBy, take up screen space and obscures typing. Unlike other editors, the tool tips do not move properly when the cursor moves to new locations in the editor. These tool tips are obtrusive and require hitting escape key constantly so I can see what I am typing. Should be able to disable in Preferences.

  11. F1 link to page in your books

    Assume that a user has a PDF of your book or Skeet's book. Think of using the Nutshell and In Depth (Skeet) books as help files by linking context help (F1) in LINQPad to topics in the PDF books. If manipulating the PDF is too difficult you could load the clipboard with the appropriate page number for the topic; the user could paste the page number in the upper left box of acrobat or PDF reader is used. I like LINQPad and I have the super-duper-expensive version but I use LINQPad as a C# and NET learning tool for my…

  12. Close queries to the right, similar to Chrome, Edge, etc.

    When right-clicking on a query, add an option to close queries to the right of currently selected query. Dialog-wise when handling unsaved queries is at your discretion, but I can see something as follows:
    -If there's no unsaved queries, don't prompt asking to save.
    -If there's one unsaved query, do a prompt asking to "Save Query X?".
    -If there are multiple unsaved queries, do a prompt asking to "Close all unsaved queries to the right of [currently selected query name]

  13. BUG: Virtual nav prop in child entity (TPT) is eager loaded and causes MARS error

    I'm writing some sample code for a class using AdventureWorks 2012. I created POCO's for the Person.BusinessEntity and Person.Person tables setup for TPT inheritance. The Person entity has a nav prop for phone numbers to the PersonPhone entity. When I run this in a C# program, it works perfectly. I've verified with DbContext.Entry(...).Collection(...).IsLoaded that the nav prop is not being eager loaded. When I access it in a LINQPad query (eg from person in Persons) it crashes with a MARS error. I have sample code.

  14. Hide things correctly.

    If a Dump(caption) method was called on an object, and later that object was hidden, the green Dump envelope with the caption stays visible.
    Also, DumpContainer cannot be easily hidden, I had to use Style="display:none".

  15. Rename 'Clone Query' option to 'Duplicate Query'

    The 'Clone Query' and 'Close Query' options when right-clicking a tab look very similar and can often lead to accidents. The 'Clone Query' option should be renamed 'Duplicate Query' to resolve this.

  16. Allow NuGet integration for Pro license

    NuGet is now such an important part of .NET development that crippling the feature even on a Pro license does not, IMO, make any sense. Please reconsider the pricing/tier of this feature. I'd argue it should be part of the Pro license, if not the basic product, due to how fundamental it is.

  17. Automatically Update NuGet Packages

    It would be great if there was an option for each NuGet package in the LinqPad NuGet manager that allows you to set a package to auto update when a new version of the package is released.

    We connect LinqPad to internal NuGet packages and the consumers of these packages should always be up to date with the latest versions of our internal packages.

  18. Implement rainbow braces as in Viasfora

    Using Viasfora in VS2019 and have to say it's a brilliant extension. Would be great if you could implement something similar in LINQPad.

    Thanks

  19. Make Connection Dropdown Searchable

    Many of our testing and production environments have well over 50 to 100 databases. Manually scrolling through the tree is tedious and scrolling through the Connection dropdown is not feasible. If the Connection dropdown was searchable, it would be far faster to hit alt+c, start typing, and hit enter to open that database.
