Restore the old normal top menu bar
I don't remember this being the case in older versions of LinqPad, but in Linqpad 8 the menu bar only extends across the top of the left-hand sidebar area, it doesn't go all the way across the editor tabs pane
It is too small and difficult to use.

security vulnerability
I noticed I can do the following below and it shows the password in my connection string.
string sConnection = Util.GetMyQueries().First().GetConnectionInfo().DatabaseInfo.GetCxString();
sConnection.Dump();
I would prefer it did not do this.

Add setting to automatically run AI completions
Add setting to automatically run AI completions just like VS does with GitHub Copilot. For the first time in over a decade I've found my LINQPad use has gone down dramatically due the lack of automatic completions. Once you get used to coding with Github Copilot in VS, coding without it feels very clunky and slow.
Yes you can press CTRL+Space to manually invoke it but that's a lot of extra keystrokes and I never think to do it.
Yes, it would cost the user more in AI credits, but that's a price I'd be happily willing to pay!

Better and more user-friendly way to use the AI
Why not instead of (or besides) the new complex UI created to send messages to the AI, just add a new "Language" type to the drop down, called AI or something, and allow the users to create the question in the code editor, this way we can use more natural approach to ask anything to the AI, then, the result, you could write them in the Results section, using some Markdown to HTML library to render similar to the Dump results but with formatted text.

Ability to setup and run external tools
It would be nice to have an external tools feature like the one in VS where commands can be set and run on queries.
Ideally it would have variables/macros to quickly get the current query path, the folder and other useful contextual info.
It could be run from right click on the opened query tab or from the my queries symbol, and hopefully it would be possible to bind it to a hotkey for quick invocation.
The use case I have is to integrate some source control to quickly add my queries to source control (e.g. could setup a tool…

Support OAuth for Microsoft Azure AI Provider
Hello, Thanks for providing a great productivity tool!
Currently Microsoft Azure AI Provider supports only Azure.OpenAIKey based auth. Are there plans to support OAuth based authentication for this provider?
use of keys is generally not recommended from security perspective. This is the only reason I am not able to (or allowed to) use AI features in LinqPad

Adds the "packages" string to the reconfigured NuGet package source path, causing a duplicate copy of packages.
I have reconfigured the NuGet package source to a different path due to space constraints in the default location. LINQPad detects this change, but it appends the "packages" string to the configured path, creating a new directory and resulting in another copy of the NuGet packages. Please address this issue.

Close Result Tabs programmatically
Allow me to do a Util.CloseResultTab(string TabName or int Index) to close a specific tab or even Util.CloseAllResultTabs to close all the tabs in the result window without changing the Output tab/window.
I have been using the LinqPad forms to create simple utilities and I sometimes load data into a dump tab to review, but want to go to the form I created and have it change the tabs during the following runs when I click a submit button.

Make NodaTime available for Npgsql Connections
The recommended way to persist date/time information by Npgsql is to use NodaTime (https://www.npgsql.org/doc/types/nodatime.html?tabs=datasource). Hence, I'm using it in all my projects.
While reading DateTime from the database seems to work finde, trying to write data results in the field in the database containing negative infinity.
Then I tried to use the typed data context from my project, but then LinqPad complains about not being able to map the "Instant" type.
As NodaTime is recommended by Npgsql, it would be great if there was a way to use it in LinqPad.3 votes -
Flag read-only properties in output
I really would like to see for each property whether it's a readonly or a writable property. Maybe you could give the gray background of the headings some red touch for RO ones?

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.

b able 2 specify references assemblies & namespaces in linqpad.config
I use linqpad to execute scripts on servers on the cloud. I copy linqpad.exe plus a few useful .net assemblies onto each server via script.
I dont want to have to manually add in the references each time I load linqpad onto a server. It would be much more useful ( and mistake proof) if I can simply do a deploy to my server which included a linqpad.config with the references to my utility assemblies as well as extra namespaces. Please comment if this is not clear and I'll elaborate further.

Tab Icons
It would be nice if the tabs had icons showing if they were SQL or code files. If you have mixed tabs of both, it would be much faster to find the query you're looking for.

Command-line LINQPad
like interactive shell, or csharp(1) on Mono, would be nice I think!

Non-blocking UI
Don't block the UI thread when doing some expensive work. I'm using LINQPad at work and at home (ironically I paid for my home license but am using the unregistered version one at work) and at work I connect to large databases with thousands of tables and LINQPad takes a long time to "deal" with scripts connecting to these kinds of databases but it would help with a progress bar or at least some notion of "I'm busy" rather than the ghost whitening of the UI.
Otherwise thanks for a superb product. :-)

"My Queries" directory default to where the .linq file was launched from
For people with multiple projects with multiple folders of linq queries, you would have to use the "Set Folder" feature to change directories. One way to solve this problem is to default to the directory that you clicked on a .linq file. Another idea would be to keep a history of the project roots (folders) like Visual Studio.
