Support multiple tab panes (a.k.a. tab groups)
...like SQL Server Management Studio for example, so I can look at multiple code snippets and/or result sets side-by-side together, and so I can organize related stuff together when I'm using LINQPad for multiple projects at once.

support XSLT
It would be very nice if there was the single snippet IDE for LINQ, SQL and XSLT. Architag XRay XML Editor is good for XSLT, but just not as good (ergonomic) as LINQPad is for LINQ.

Create DataContext with XmlMappingSource
In the connection properties dialog, you could add a field for XmlMappingSource path and then use it to create the DataContext:
string xml = File.ReadAllText(pathToXmlMappingFile);
MappingSource mapping = XmlMappingSource.FromXml(xml);
DataContext context = new DataContext(connectionString, mapping);

Display triggers
I would like the to be able to see triggers that are on tables. In the same way that I can look at the definitions of SPs and functions.

Configfile per .Linq file
In a .linq file there would be a reference to a config file. That file is loaded as the configuration for whatever runs in the file. This allows code to run that expect certain values in the config, such as anything from the Enterprise Library. It also ensures that the code you call does exactly the same an on a clients configuration.

Boo support would be nice
Like Python and Ruby, this feature could be integrated with no pain. There is an hosting interface for boo. It's all about syntax coloring and intellisense.

IronPython / IronRuby support would be nice!
How about supporting code creation with this two languages. It shouldn't be so hard, as it's now possible to host them inside of any .NET language. Its all about adding the syntax highlighting and intellisense.

Support for custom DateTime formatting (also for TimeSpan etc.)
LINQPad's results use the default ToString method. I would be excellent if you could register certain types to have a custom rendering.

Add an "all files" option when browsing to open a SQL CE database
Our SQL CE database does not use a standard extension. We use a custom one so we can associate it with our application. I can simply rename the file when I want to use LINQpad with it, but it would be much easier if I were allowed to open a file with any extension as a SQL CE database. I would also be able to use LINQpad to view that database while our application is running, which is sometimes necessary.

Change database selector to two dropdowns
One for server and the other for database. With many connections having only a single dropdown makes the list quite long and hard to navigate.

Copy and Paste to Visual Studio
In a C# app, my code is often:
DataClassesDataContext db = new DataClassesDataContext();Then the Linq code is, for example
var results = from answer in db.Answers
where answer.Score > 20
select answerBasically, this cannot be copied and pasted to / from LinqPad as the tables are in the DataContext. db. breaks linqPad / VS when it is copied back in.
Would be nice to be able to define the name of the DataContext globally (default), or for each query.

auto graph
Small request. I love the visualisation feature "Show Graph" and it would be nice to have the option to automatically graph all columns in a resultset.

create Comment uncomment button/shortcuts
In visual studio and SSMS we have buttons/shortcuts to highlight a block of code and comment it out or uncomment it. I would like to be able to comment in and out parts based on changes I make to one based on the other.

allow F1 or Alt-F1 to bring up the table definition/schema
allow F1 or Alt-F1 to bring up the table definition/schema, like in SSMS-> alt F1 brings up tons of information about the highlighted table. it would be nice to have a mechanism for jumping straight to the table info via keyboard shortcut if the table name is highlighted.

allow opendatasource in LINQ
openDataSource and openRowSet don't seem to work in LINQPad under LINQ instead of SQL. I use these on a number of queries, and would hate to have to go back to SQL everytime I needed data from another server on the one I'm on.
