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

  2. 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.

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  11. There are a few assemblies I often use in LinqPad queries, that are not in the GAC or on Nuget. Every time, I have to browse to their location to find them (e.g. Windows.winmd to use WinRT APIs). It would be nice if there was a "recently used" list in the "Additional references" tab

  12. The arrow pointing to a currently executing line in the code editor is very helpful as a quick-and-dirty debugging/profiling tool. However, when working with code that is several pages long, the arrow often disappears from view and can be hard to find. An option to always keep the currently executing line visible in the code editor would be really helpful.

  13. Util.WriteCsv(IEnumerable<T> elements, string filePath) skips properties of T that are of types that do not belong to a certain hardcoded "approved" list of types, which, in the current version, seems to include string, int, float, double, bool, DateTime and decimal. For example, if T has a property of the Uri type, it will not be included. It is possible to override this behavior by using the overloaded version that takes "params string[] membersToInclude" argument(s), but this requires explicitly listing all members of type T that are to be included in the output. It would be nice to have an overloaded…

  14. It would be nice if one could enable auto hide of the Connection/entity/tree pane. As with the various panels in Visual Studio. I spend most of my time in the editor and like to have a lot of screen realestate. So auto-hiding is a useful feature.

  15. In the treeview at the left i want to do a simple Take(100) when clicking the table or when enter is pressed. Maybe also when new table is selected. Makes it possible to get a quick overview of the tables content without the need to right click and select Take(100)

  16. The LINQPad code editor currently supports column mode selections (shift+alt+cursor) which is cool. But I really miss the column mode editing support known from VS or Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/features/column-mode-editing.html)

  17. I have a query, if I accidently hit F4 and F5 at around the same time... The query properties comes up, the query runs, and I can no longer click to dismiss the modal.

  18. Add an option to the query properties to disable "My Extensions" for a specific query.

    The problem with "My Extensions" is it can bring in unwanted references. For example, I have extensions that use Newtonsoft.Json, and wanted to run a query without a reference to that dll. The only way I could achieve this was by removing it from "My Extensions". It is awkward to have to edit "My Extensions" and remove all the references and functions just to run a single query, then have to add them all back afterwards.

  19. I sometimes have to work with devices like thermal printers and need to have characters like TABs in the output. The current text option (HTML) automatically convert TAB to spaces and prevents me from getting an accurate and usable output.

  20. This would be similar to Util.ToCsvString() and Util.WriteCsv(), but would accept any delimiter.
