Include the current query name (if saved) to the title bar
The time tracking software I use, TimeSprite, uses the window title to track time and assign to tasks. LINQPad always just shows as "LINQPAD" - but when a query is saved, including the file name in the title bar (like Word, Excel, etc. does) will let users identify the current query, and will facilitate time-tracking apps such as TimeSprite to assign queries to projects.

Add a No Update Option to LINQPad.exe.config
We recently ran into a problem where the automatic upgrade option caused a bug, and being sure that Linqpad is always invoked with -noupdate is a pain. Having such an option in the LINQPad.exe.config would make for easier work arounds.

Automatically Select "SQL Azure" if connection string in clipboard's "Server" property ends with ".database.windows.net,1443"
Given a SQL Connection String is in the clipboard:
Server=tcp:my-sql-azure-sql-server-name.database.windows.net,1433;Database=my-initial-catalog;User ID=user@my-sql-azure-sql-server-name;Password=ALRh2AxHV6f8;Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True;Connection Timeout=30;
When the "Server" property of the connection string or equivalent ends with ".database.windows.net,1433" then the assumption that this database server is a SQL Azure connection string and automatically select the "SQL Azure" radio button at the top of the "LINQPad Connection" dialog box.

Support Touch Interactions in the Code Editor
Many of the tool panes in Linqpad already support touch scrolling. This makes it very comfortable to use on a touch enabled device like a Surface. However the Code Editor does not support touch scrolling. Visual Studio recently introduced this feature and it is great for reading code on a tablet.
Please support this in the Linqpad editor also.

Ability to sort files in "My Queries" tab
Just a minor suggestion. I'll like to be able to sort files in the "My Queries" tab - by date modified, by date created, by name etc. I experience a little frustration having to remember the name of the last file I worked on.

Paste as comment
Paste as a comment block
Just like the paste as escaped string is great, i think paste as comment block would be just as useful.

Allow user names for results grids
Simpley allow the usr to rename the grids, or perhaps to provide a comment in the sql to name the results grid for each query when doing multiple queries.

Would've been really cool if you could edit and debug Cake build scripts in LINQPad.

Export Connection Strings of Saved Connections
It'd be great if we could quickly get a properly formatted connection string for any of our database connections.

View a diff before I hit save
Allow me to see a diff before I hit save.
Quite often I might have made some changes to a saved query, and days / hours later don't know what I changed and if I want to keep the change.
My current workaround is to save to a new filename and run kdiff, but it would be nice to integrate this feature into the program.
I could just put all my snippets in a repo, but that is probably overkill for most people. As .linq files are just text files this should be relatively straightforward.

Unresponsive UI when closng the connection Properties dialog
The app becomes unresponsive for several seconds after closing the connection Properties dialog? There is no wait cursor to indicate that work is being performed. Couldn't this work be performed asynchronously?

Live query results
I often use LINQPad to check for new or updated data in SQL tables. I have queries open that I refresh after I make an operation in my application.
It would be really helpful if you could create "live" queries or a change log for a database table or query. I think it would be possible using SqlDependency to get the required notifications.
I imagine something like new or updated rows are added to the bottom of the searchresult and the search result is scrolled down. New and added rows as colored for a period of time to visually indicate…

Preview SQL table content
I often find myself using LINQPad to look at the latest data inserted into database tables. I keep a lot of tabs open with something like
myTable.OrderByDescending(t => t.TableId).Take(10)I also spend a lot of time flipping through a bunch of tables to find the data I'm interested in.
I think both use cases could be helped if LINQPad could open a temporary tab with the top 10 or 25 rows when clicking/navigating with the keyboard in the tables list in the left pane in LINQPad.
Preferably the results should be sorted descending by the primary key (at least for…3 votes -
GridView results should use full width of pane if needed, instead of ellipsissing cell values
Using grid view, the column widths are currently set for the minimum to handle the header text, often visually truncating cell values even if there is unused width available in the grid UI.
If nothing else, divide the available space by the available columns to compute a minimum initial column width. Even better would be if it takes the retrieved values into account and make narrow valued columns narrower.

OData3: Operation descriptors behavior is different than in Visual Studio 2013 when creating an entity
When you create a new entity using an OData v3 connection and then call this.SaveChanges(), it saves the entity and its state is set to Unchanged. Then, calling this.GetOperationDescriptor(myEntity).OperationDescriptors returns 0 elements, but calling the same code using a Service Reference in VS2013 does return all the operation descriptors. It would be nice if LINQPad couild have the same behaviors because, looking at the response in Fiddler, the links are returned in the response but they are just ignored.

multiple context
Multiple Contexts - without cross queries.
I think it would be nice to be able to have multiple database connections/contexts. This would be handy in Azure where you can't do cross database queries anyway.
It would just make pulling data from one database into memory and comparing against another easier...
