Provide a C# REPL mode
The idea is that there would be a mode where it is easy to execute single lines or blocks of codes, and all the variables from the main scope would automatically be available in subsequent runs.
The implementation is probably far from trivial, but one naive idea is to identify where variables are initialized and set, and have that mirrored as Get/SetData in the appdomain before compilation.
So for instance, if I have the following lines
var x = 1;
var y = x + 1;Then running the first line would execute something like this
var x = 1;…

DumpLatest - highligh differences after dump refresh.
Add to DumpLatest option similar to what 'watch' command does with flag '--differences'.
This would allow nice&easy visual monitoring of changes in any data.
I use for example code like this to visually monitor changes in DB:
Observable.Interval( System.TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2) )
.Select(x => this.GetSomeDBTable )
.DumpLatest();Having any changes in dump output highlighted with for example yellow background would be nice.

Add more code formatting options to LINQPad 5
It's great we can control where braces go (on their own lines of course), but needs option for spaces inside non-empty parentheses etc. Auto-formatting is awesome (and I don't want to turn it off), but removing my spaces is just rude :)

Add "Cancel All Threads and Reset" to query toolbar
Consider adding another toolbar item for the Cancel All Threads and Reset (Ctrl+Shift+F5) menu option to the query toolbar. Hidden in the menu, it wasn't obvious that this existed, or what it was for. I've been closing LinqPad and re-launching regularly because I didn't realize this option existed.
User error? Yes. But a toolbar button would be helpful for others like me.

I need larger fonts everywhere. I do not believe that LinqPad conforms to the usability requirements of ISO 9241 for ergonomic requirements.
The editor font can be changed, but that is not good enough. Not everybody needs larger fonts but everybody will need them eventually. I have a forty dollar editor that lets me change the font everywhere, including the tree controls and menus (which is why I use it). Surely you have the chops to match a text editor. I just cannot keep this upgrade unless I can read the screen without a headache.

OData3: Operation descriptors behavior is different than in Visual Studio 2013 when creating an entity
When you create a new entity using an OData v3 connection and then call this.SaveChanges(), it saves the entity and its state is set to Unchanged. Then, calling this.GetOperationDescriptor(myEntity).OperationDescriptors returns 0 elements, but calling the same code using a Service Reference in VS2013 does return all the operation descriptors. It would be nice if LINQPad couild have the same behaviors because, looking at the response in Fiddler, the links are returned in the response but they are just ignored.

Have a version of LINQPad with a notebook UI ala IPythonNotebook
I'd really love a version of LINQPad along the lines of IPythonNotebook or Mathematica. Ideally it would be hosted in the cloud. I'd use such a thing from every one of my computers all day every day and would happily pay a monthly subscription for the privilege.

Dump should output script line number
In scripts with multiple calls to Dump, it is sometimes difficult to resolve Dump output with the specific Dump call that generated that output. If the Dump output contained the line number that originated that output, it would help in this regard.

Allow Tagging the queries for better Organization
As a reference provider I would like to label/tag queries so that it is easy for others to locate queries using tag/labels.
I am using folders to organize my saved queries by creating folder for language, type, version, library used etc. These queries are examples of how to use different libraries or language features. I organize these by creating folders for Libraries or Features used in the query.You can imagine that some queries include multiple libraries plus language features, in which case it becomes difficult to decide where to place it or end up in coping the query in many…

Add Server Core support
Currently v2 and v5 versions of Linqpad do not start in Server Core with a fatal COM exception.
If this COM component it's requesting is not critical, perhaps it could be possible to ignore the error or start in feature-limited mode, thus making Linqpad a useful tool for on-the-box troubleshooting/scripting on Server Core servers.

Second NuGet package source breaks downloading from original
Adding a second package second source, from a custom source - e.g. Visual Studio Online. Which doesn't have all the packages of api.nuget.org, will break installations from api.nuget.org. LINQPad complains it can't find e.g. PureWebSockets or Json.NET from https://blahblahblah.pkgs.visualstudio.com/blahblahblah

Plugin Support for Dumps
I would also like to add custom data presentation in the output panel (via Dumps).
Becasue the output is rendered in HTML I would like to create a Plugin which will render JSON strings formatted with highlighting etc. for example.
Or I would like to fetch some data from other Places and attach it to the dumped data etc.
These plugins don't need to be a separate DLL. A Linpad script which implements a special interface would be enough.
Best regards

Add option to to hide System Database
Allow an option on "Preference -> Advanced" or somewhere similar that we can enable/disable that will hide System Database, such as "master", "model", "msdb", "tempdb". Most of the times, developer are not working with these databases, so there is no point in them displaying under your database server.

Don't prevent installing native packages in LINQPad
Some package, like "Microsoft.ChakraCore", "Libuv", or "JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.ChakraCore.Native.win-x64", does not have .NET Assembly, instead, they provide a native assembly to PInvoke.
However, this cannot be done in LINQPad, when installing these packages, an error message "There are no usable .NET assemblies in package 'XYZ'" was shown.
Please do not prevent us to do that, at least popup a warning dialog saying something like "Looks like you're not installing the .NET Assembly, go on?", and gives us a option to proceed the PInvoke test.
