  1. It would be awesome if Linqpad supported anchor <a> elements in XML documentation. Whilst it's not an element listed in the XML documentation comments (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/xmldoc/), it is supported by Visual Studio and JetBrains Rider, and is useful for linking out to external documentation.

  2. I have hundreds of LINQPad scripts organized in folders. However it's still not that convenient to open an existing script. Need to go to appropriate folder and then search among the files. Don't remember the names exactly so sometimes it takes some effort. It would be nice to have equivalent of ReSharper CTRL + SHIFT + T option that would search through all files and I could enter just a single word or any subset of the file name.

  3. Having a list of rows in the grid it would be convenient to be able to rapidly view a right clicked row as a single row. I.e. like when doing .First(t=> t.Id==9) in the query.

  4. When you have a table containing a lot of columns you will probably want to design a query which returns a subset of these. To reduce typing i imagine that i in the datagrid multiselects the columns i want. Ctrl C and then Ctrl V in the query text. Pasted text would be ".Select(t=> new {t.col1, t.col2})"

  5. The result of an async operation is NULL according to Linqpad Watch and mouseover.

    HOWEVER - the program continues executing with the real value underneath.

    eg:

    var b = await GetBoolTRUE()

    // stopping debugger here shows b = null
    if (b == true)
    {
    // this code executes
    }

    PS: The async method I'm calling is located in an imported DLL

  6. Hi, It would be realy cool to enable Font-specific features like the stylistic sets of FireCode for example
    https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/wiki/How-to-enable-stylistic-sets
    like a string in "Advanced" settings or something

  7. I write a lot of Dump(), to output variables temporarily, and finally remove them.
    It would be nice to turn on/off a Dump() without edit code.

    Please highlight the Dump() method, swith to DumpOff() when double click it, and output nothing.

  8. Changed my CPU recently and intend to change it again before the end of the year after the Zen 3 release.

    My JetBrains software continued to work fine, my Visual Studio continued to work fine, only LINQPad was deactivated and I had to do the license transfer.

    Why is that and why do you have to deactivate the software if I change my CPU and what if I run out of transfers? Tough luck?

  9. I think this is a trivial addition but it would add a very useful feature for similarly named files.

  10. Set a default property for child to show in collapsed mode. Eg. Category name is enough to describe the category object.

  11. When querying data with xml, a malformed xml should not stop the querying of other rows. Linqpad should show where the malformed xml is and get the other columns.

  12. When a script completes with warnings... provide a method for jumping to the line in the script that surfaces the warning. Perhaps clicking on the warning message (jump to first warning line)... or at least including the line number(s) of warnings.

  13. Dark mode doesn't change the color of the title bar or the buttons and controls on the toolbar.

    Also, dark mode feels extremely clunky as most parts of the app start as white and change to dark several seconds later. It's not unusable since it does go dark eventually but if that could be fixed, it would be a considerably less jarring user experience.

  14. Have an option to show whitespace in Data Grid results. Currently, the display of whitespace is only respected in the Rich Text results.

  15. i love the product :) . minor request. Can you update it so that holding the middle button down lets you also scroll left and right in the code panel? the results panel already lets you do this when it's full enough. this would help a lot for when i leave the results upon on the right side of the screen.

  16. Currently planning an upgrade from 2.X to 3.X and I'm hunting down queries that are client-evaluated, would be great if LINQPad would show those warnings when running queries

  17. Add support for c# local ref vars in the watch window.

    For example given code like below
    void Main()
    {
    var sx = new st { i = 1 };
    ref var rx = ref sx;
    rx.i.Dump();
    }
    struct st { public int i; }

    Add support for the expression rx.i in the watch window

  18. We share queries extensively at work using a synchronization tool. I've always wished Linqpad build this in so I could keep some of my personal queries from view more easily. In addition, I love the samples. I'd like to see a public repo where anyone could save queries or simply share their libraries via Github.

  19. Similar to the great new Shelve feature and combined with Named tabs I would like to be able to save my open tabs and give that group of tabs a name and be able to re-open them together. When working on projects I often have several related tabs open and when I go back to work on that project again, I often want all the same tabs so it would be great to be able to reopen all at once. A file that just opens other .linq files into their own tabs.

  20. Support color settings besides basic dark/light or theme choice. Some people are colorblind and util.dif output uses red/green which could be tough. Allow customization of different color values like visual studio does.
