  1. Custom Aggregates in Dump override

    Possibility to add custom aggregates like sum, average over custom types for the Dump method.

    Currently you get a sum/average underneath columns containing int's etc. (except if they are formatted through ToDump).

    It would be nice to do something similar as ToDump for custom types, and or types like TimeSpans, Dates, etc.

  2. Allow direct export of results as PDF

    I don't often want or need to save the output from a LinqPad script, but when I do I almost invariably need to end up with a PDF that will be sent to someone else. The current export options (Excel, Word, HTML) get the job done but require an additional step. It would be really nice if LinqPad could export directly to PDF

  3. Add back the App.config dialog

    I use LINQPad to work with libraries based on previous versions of .NET, and it would be helpful to be able to edit the App.config like I could in LINQPad 5.

  4. Reset window layout

    Would like to request a "Reset Window Layout" option. Very helpful when comparing between multiple tabs to have them all of the same height/width etc.

  5. Allow for negative numbers in the 'Show Graph' feature

    The 'Show Graph' feature is brilliant quickly comparing the relative size of numbers, but it does not work well for negative numbers. It would be great if negative numbers showed extending to the left (and perhaps in red) with positive numbers showing to the right of some imaginary zero-point line. (Thanks for a great product!)

  6. Input delay when editing large files

    Great software, use it every day. Couldn't do without. I may be on the edge of what's reasonable in usage, but when editing files of 500+ lines some input delay occurs. CPU usage is 100%+ on a Intel i9 when typing. Input delay disappears when setting "Show completion list after typing a letter" to false.

  7. Support Multiple Desktops on Windows 10

    Windows supports multiple desktops. This is a useful feature when working on a single monitor. The results grid on LINQPad 6 bleed through regardless of which "Desktop" your are running. Switching desktops (using the Task View button on the Windows toolbar) while running LINQPad 6 leaves the results grid always visible.

  8. Export the Result window as an image.

    Utils.SaveResultWindowImage(string filename, int x, int y, int width, int height)

    This can then be used as a simple image rendering service.

  9. Boolean Util.CurrentQuery.IsSaved to indicate if current query is dirty or saved

    Just a boolean indicating whether the current query is "dirty" or saved: basically wired to the star on the tab title.

    My use case is that my script, after executing, saves its artifacts and itself in a zip file (for posterior usage). It would help me if the first lines of my script would be "Oops, you didn't save the current query -> return".

    Thank you.

  10. High DPI icons

    While text scales nicely, icons look awful on a 4K monitor.

  11. Add ability to collapse/fold F# functions/modules/types

    Hi,

    I absolutely love LINQPad and I use it every day! Great job!

    I was wondering if it would be possible to add code folding support for F# - often times I end up with large scripts and navigating around the code can get difficult without code folding.

    Kind regards,
    George Danila.

  12. Support Integrated Windows Authentication for NuGet Package Managers

    My "in-house" (ProGet) NuGet package source supports Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA). When I try to connect to it I get an authorized response.

    I can try basic authentication, but I would rather not have LinqPad remember my network credentials.

  13. Script Row as Insert

    It would be very useful to be able to right click 1 or more rows and have the option to generate an insert script in LINQ.

  14. Show warnings (or other logging message) that were generated from EF Core

    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

  15. Update holding middle button to allow scrolling left and right also.

    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. Have option to show whitespace in Data Grid results.

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

  17. Ability to set font-settings/features

    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

  18. Navigate to file

    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.

  19. Retrofit LP6 features to LP5 for those who cannot use .NET Core

    For a variety of reasons, I am not able to use LP6 on one of my machines because I am not able to leverage .NET core, and so I use LP5 but I miss things like F12 navigating to My Extensions (instead of opening ILSpy), Util.HighlightIf(bool,object), DumpContainer.AppendContent, and #load. I LOVE LINQPad and use it daily (even for personal projects and reasons), and I would use LP6 everywhere if I could, but alas I cannot. I understand if there are reasons this won't work, but as a single user, I would absolutely LOVE it if some of those features could…

  20. Create a web view for Instant Share

    Rather than immediately downloading, have a web view of the uploaded script, with a download button, so people can see what they're downloading.

    Ideally, it would summarize the header information and syntax-highlight the code.

    Additionally, add an option in the File Menu to "Load from URL" which will automatically download the file.
