LINQPad, handy scretch pad.... Why not share?
I keep coming back to LINQPad to write few lines, execute ...verify, then go back to implement the small bit I just wrote and I am sure everyone does that and some would save those random scratch for later use or reference. So I wonder, why not a code snippet share feature directly from LINQPad? It would increase awareness and allow us share or persist some of the quick code written every now and then.
Cheers.

Add additional database option in menus
I feel like the 'easy' way to add additional databases to a query is way too cryptic: holding down Ctrl while dragging the additional db to the query.
There should be a menu option when right-clicking a database in the connections pane, or in the Query menu. Just somewhere where you can discover it intuitively, in stead of having to check the FAQ.1 vote -
Navigate To/Control- to Search and Create New Query for Connection
Using Navigate To (Control+,), allow us to type name of connection as well and if we select it, it automatically makes a new query against that connection. I'm pretty much 'mouse' free on LINQPad except for this scenario.

Allow playing a sound (or flashing the window or whatever) when a long-running query completes
I often have to run scripts that take a lengthy amount of time (between 3 and 30 minutes, and it's not known ahead of time exactly how long it'll take). Currently I have to remember to keep checking back to see if it's finished yet as I switch over to another app to work on something else.
It would be much more useful to switch that 'polling' to 'interrupt-driven'. :) Specifically, I'd love to be able to set an option similar to "if a query runs longer than X seconds (X = 30 would be what I set it for,…

Set primary key
Linqpad cannot insert into tables with no primary key defined in the database. For instance, I have a table with an auto-incrementing identity column. In visual studio I can insert into this table simply by defining the identity column as primary key with auto-sync false in the dbml or editing the edmx xml by hand.

Clicking "add connection" needs a SQL Server option
Click "add connection" there are 3 options "linq to sql", "WCF..." and "MS Datamarket...". None of these allow me to connect to SQL Server. Nothing in "view more drivers" looks like SQL Server either. My friend got it to work after a lot of time & effort, but doesn't remember how he did it. SQL Server is very popular. It should be easy to connect to it.

Instance share should include My Extensions
I shared a script with a colleague today. However we realised it would not run because I was using and referencing logic from the My Extensions script.
My idea is that when a script is uploaded to instance share, it should include (or allow me include) logic from the My Extensions script, so that the script is able to be run on another machine without modification

Split multiple output panels
Now, we can dump GUI controls, XMLs, and other custom outputs, as a new output (tabbed) panel.
However, LINQPad can show just only one panel currently. I think it's inconvenient.
If there are support to split tabs vertically or horizontally, it should be very useful when using multiple visualizations or interacting with custom GUIs.14 votes -

F# can't specify FSharp.Core dll version
If I go into add references and select FSharp.Core.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\FSharp.NETFramework\v4.0\4.3.0.0
Linqpad will no longer run giving a message from what I believe is the Fsc compiler saying
error FS1222: When mscorlib.dll or FSharp.Core.dll is explicitly referenced the --noframework option must also be passed

Display multiple result sets, just like SQL Management Studio
Modern monitors huge huge amounts of space. Why not display result sets in data grid mode, just like SQL Management Studio, so I can see everything on one screen? Its frustrating to have to click on the different results, and difficult to compare results if they are on separate screens.

Add support for "select *" to autocomplete in C#
When I type "select new { t1.", it gives me the option "(press ` to select multiple items). I would also like the option "(press * to select all items)", it would then insert all field names for the table, in the original order.

Support for temporary databases (SQL Server / SQlite)
When testing out SQL scripts, it would be nice if LINQPad could create a temporary database for me, and drop it after execution. For instance, if I pick the SQLite database provider, a new SQLite file would just be created in the temp folder on the machine, my SQL executed against it, and the file deleted (or simply left for normal cleanup).
This would work wonders for experimentation for things like Stack Overflow answers and similar, since I then normally want to start from scratch and include all tables and data in the script itself, rather than work with an…

add a dark theme
i find dark themed environments a lot more comfortable to work in. That's why almost all IDE's have them as an option.

Support for XML Summary message when IntelliSence shows which overload to use
When typing out the method call I would like to be able to see the different overload methods and their XML summary. Currently we are able to see the overload's for the call and what the summary of the parameters of that call but not the summary of the actual overload.
After I have finished the call I am able to hover over the call and see but it would be nice to see the summary while I type.

Add a way of extending the autogenerated DataContext with partial classes
See this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24905706/how-to-extend-datamodel-in-linqpad-using-partial-classes
In a project I'm working on now, I've added a custom ToString() to a datatype in the datacontext, by using a partial class. The class I'm extending has a lot of foreign keys, including a one-to-many relationship. My custom ToString() fetches all the related objects and creates a single, userfriendly string for display, all on one line. If I could use LINQPad to inspect that table, it would make life so much easier. I mean, if I could add .Select(o => o.ToString()) to my queries, and have it use my own custom ToString.
But the specifics of…

Allow navigation to individual rows in grid mode
I find the vertical orientation makes it easier to digest a single row from a large table.
In grid view, is it possible to allow navigation from a collection (lots of columns) to an individual row displayed vertically (lots of rows), just like when you navigate to a non-collection using the hyperlinks.
