Special insert datetime.now
Just as I use alt + g daily to insert a Guid, I miss a shortcut to make a datetime.now when inserting data.

Dump of enumeration of inherited objects should display actual classes
If I have an enumeration of nodes that can be of type text/html/custom I get the class specific properties in their own columns but there is not indication on the actual class of each line.
When debugging or investigating deep class hierarchies knowing the exact class each line was would be very helpful.
Now one have to determine this through the properties which is not always easy, especially with library code that you have no internal knowledge of.

easier Date/Time data entry in grid
Our database has an audit field:
[ActionDateUtc] DATETIMEOFFSET NOT NULL CONSTRAINT DEFAULT (SYSDATETIMEOFFSET()),
When I click "Add Row", this field is defaulted blank rather than null, and annoying since the only way to enter a date at this point is to manually key it in.
Save fails due to SQL overflow, and since save happens when you move off the record, it's not easy to copy/paste an existing one.
Ideally it would be fantastic if LINQPad would recognize that the value will be supplied by the DB, failing that a right click menu to enter 'now' or 'utc now' would…

Create a way to associate .sdf-Files (SQL CE) with LinqPAD
For using LinqPAD for everyday work it would be extremely helpful to have a file association set to open .sdf-Files with LinqPAD directly. Up to now I do not think this is possible. Maybe you could consider a command line option to pass a filename (or connection string) to LinqPAD at start - this would be perfectly sufficient for us by enabling us to write a wrapper providing the desired functionality.

Stop linqpad from querying __MigrationHistory on each call
EF queries the __MigrationHistory each time the DbContext is opened to ensure the DB context is in sync with the DB. This can be very expensive. Can LinqPad provide an option to skip this check by doing Database.SetInitializer<UserQuery>(null)?
UserQuery seems to be the class that gets derived from the user created DbContext.

Add Alt+Enter shortcut to pop up the auto-suggestion drop down (a la Resharper)
When I enter a class name from a namespace that isn't referenced, a little auto-suggestion hint appears. In VS+R# I would hit Alt+Enter to open this menu, and then Enter to accept.
In LinqPad I have to use the mouse to do this.

Don't automatically populate the connection when creating a new query
Sometimes when I start up a new query, I type a single C# expression like "Environment.OSVersion" and then hit run. It doesn't execute instantly and I look at the status bar and see "Fetching Schema...". Then I see that LINQPad automatically assumed that I was going to use the connection I used last time I wrote a query and added it for me. Although this may be useful for someone who uses LINQPad exclusively for querying a single database, this is annoying for others who use it as a C# scratchpad or frequently query different data sources.

Detect Oracle VirtualBox as a VM When Checking Licensing
The Licensing conditions say: "three computers ... plus 3 virtual machines running MS VPC, Hyper-V or VMWare". Does anyone else use Oracle's Virtual Box to run VM's in a development environment? Whenever I install LinqPad on a VBox VM, it counts against my PC installs and is not detected as a VM. VM's are for tearing down and setting up quickly and so the "six transfers per year" doesn't cut it either. I actually bought a second license to have to stop deactivating from my non-VM hardware so often.

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.
