Support IDbContextFactory with Entity Framework POCO connections
When using a DbContext for a connection, LINQPad currently only supports parameterless constructors or constructors accepting a string. Please consider supporting IDbContextFactory<TContext> with Entity Framework POCO connections.

Implement autosave in addition to recovery
Please save all "unsaved" queries automatically. I don't care where, but I don't want to see any "do you want to save your changes" dialogs unless I try to close a query window with unsaved changes.
When starting linqpad, my previously unsaved queries (session) should be available, perhaps even with my cursor where I left it.

Word wrap in text editor
I'd like an option for line wrap in the text editing pane. Other text editors have this option (notepad++, visual studio)

Fix the DataGrid 'Edit Data' feature for single row editing.
The DataGrid 'Edit Data' feature works fine when editing values where there are more than one row. In this case, the results appear in a table and each row's cell can be edited. However, if navigating (via hyperlinks) to a table for which there is only a single row, then the view changes from a table to more of a property sheet view with only two columns: the attributes and values. In this mode, the only thing that allows editing are boolean fields (that appear as checkboxes) and strings. All other numeric values give the following error:
Object of type…

entity framework
Use Entity Framework code-first (generated) to access to existing DB instead of LINQ To SQL.

Show the default namespaces and assembly references in the query properties
By default, LinqPad imports several namespaces (System, System.Linq...) and references several assemblies (System, System.Core...). This is fine in most cases, but sometimes I'd like to be able to remove some namespaces or references, and currently there's no way to do that. These default namespaces and assemblies should appear in the query properties so that they can be removed (it could be an option for users who don't want that)
35 votesIn LINQPad 6, you can now see all namespace imports in Query Properties, and remove default namespaces as required.

support using statements correctly without seperate F4
I'd like to be able to paste code straight into Linqpad (using statements and all) and immediately execute it. I find the time it takes to manually add in the references and using statements totally kills "the moment" and I end up pasting the code into Visual Studio instead because I'm in a hurry, sob sob!

Be able to choose decompiler to use e.g. free dotpeek instead of pay 2 play reflector
I love the new Shift-F1 feature (launches .NET Reflector) ...really excellent idea, just one small issue... I don't have .NET reflector!
It would be really useful if I could select either dotpeek, or JustDecompile instead.
11 votesI’m marking this as complete, because LINQPad now includes a built-in ILSpy.

Remember tab order so using Ctrl-Tab swaps between most recent tabs
Just like Visual Studio, using Ctrl-Tab to swap between the most recently used tabs. I'm not looking for a dialog popup like VS (though not discouraging it if you're interested in going that far). I do a lot of swapping between tabs running a couple "queries" multiple times (in quotes because LinqPad is really my scratch-pad editor and I use that about equal with my use for actual queries).
FWIW: I looked to see if this was already suggested. I thought I saw it a couple years ago, but didn't see it on the new site.

Make Ctrl D a duplicate line command
Use Ctrl D for duplicate: copy the line that the cursor is on to the line below. Currently it isn't doing anything as far as I can see.

Do not pluralize or capitalize the tables names
Pluralizing and capitalizing tables names can confuse developers and DBAs ... And demand an extra effort to rename que lambda expressions before using it in the original application... Leaving the table names as is... is more usefull cause we can copy/paste the generated lambda expressions.....
1 voteThis has been an option since V1. Go to Connection Properties and uncheck ‘Pluralize’ / ‘Capitalize’. Or look at first question in FAQ

Keyboard shortcut to hide left pane for maximum visibility
There should be an option to hide the left pane allowing us to consume the maximum real estate of the screen to work with the query and result window.

Rectangular copy/cut/delete
I do read the blog posts of James Michael Hare (http://blackrabbitcoder.net) very frequently, along other blogposts.
Some of the examples i copy and past in Linqpad, so i can try them out.
Regrettably if you copy and paste the code all the lines start with linenumbers.
The VS2010 editor has in this respect a very handy feature, with the shift-alt key-combination one can select a rectangle and delte/copy/cut it.
So my request to you is, if you have the time ( :-), to build it into Linqpad.
Thnxs in advance!
Kind regards,
Henk

add a shelf or workbench for data being processed.
Often when I am working in LinqPad, I iterate to retrieve some large dataset via some (relatively) expensive operation - from a remote server or disk, or some calculations. Once retrieved, I continue to iterate my Linqpad query, performing different investigative operations on the data.
It would be great if linqpad had an API where I could 'shelve' the returned data, and access it in laters runs of the same query/session.
I could do this manually, by serializing to disk, but it would be great it if was built in.
An API with an IDictionary<string, object> interface would be all…

Allow to fliter table names for oracle
Connecting with IQ driver to Oracle is fantastic but it would be good to be able to filter out certain tables from the right hand tree view. Specfically Oracle has Bin$ and AQ$ tables that just pollutes that view. This is an option avialble in Oracle SQL Developer.

Be able to set breakpoints in LinqPad
Be able to set breakpoints within the LinqPad IDE as well as perform a debugging session for the Linq Expressions in a manner similar to the Visual Studio IDE.

Save/restore queries on close or manually
I'm a multitasker, and I usually have 7 or 8 (or 20) tabs open in LINQPad. When I need to restart my computer, or for whatever reason close LINQPad, I could to save each of my queries (coming up with a meaningful name for each), remember which ones I had open, and reopen them one by one when I restart, but I find it's quicker and easier to just kill LINQPad with Task Manager so that it will offer to reload all my tabs for me automatically. I would be nice if LINQPad had the option to save and restore…
397 votesThis is now available from V6.9.12 (in beta as of June 2020). It employs a new autosave engine that serializes all editor operations, so that the undo/redo stack is restored along with the query. You can choose to shelve queries upon exit, or by default in the Edit | Preferences dialog. A conflict-detection mechanism ensures that you can’t accidentally overwrite a query that’s been subsequently edited via cloud synchronization or another application. Enjoy!
