Sharing code across LINQPad queries
At present, the only way to share code across LINQPad queries is to put them in "My Extensions" but this causes the code to be available to ALL queries, and it would be good if this could be specified on a more granular basis, where the code is shared with only a subset of queries.
For example, in my queries folder, if I'm working on ACME API, I'll have a folder called "ACME API" with separate files for whatever I'm working with - eg. get-user.linq, add-product.linq.
It would be good if I could create a file called common.linq (or something…

Show the default namespaces and assembly references in the query properties
By default, LinqPad imports several namespaces (System, System.Linq...) and references several assemblies (System, System.Core...). This is fine in most cases, but sometimes I'd like to be able to remove some namespaces or references, and currently there's no way to do that. These default namespaces and assemblies should appear in the query properties so that they can be removed (it could be an option for users who don't want that)
35 votesIn LINQPad 6, you can now see all namespace imports in Query Properties, and remove default namespaces as required.

Make the output window show results as they're produced
For long-running queries that call Dump multiple times, it would be good to have the results from the earlier queries show immediately rather than waiting for the whole query to complete.

Highlight same text as selected in editor
Just like in Visual Studio (and MANY other editors):
When you select some text in the editor, the same text gets highlighted. This helps the developer identify errors and places that needs to be changed / refactored etc..32 votesThis is available for symbols, from version 5.24

Add basic refactoring support
When your prototypical scripts evolve, you may want clean them up a bit by renaming variables, methods and classes to match their new/changed responsibilities. As find/replace is error prone, such a rename refactoring support would be neat.

Find and replace dialog should not be modal
A few issues with a modal dialog:
If one wishes to undo a replace operation they must close the dialog, undo, then reopen it.
If the user has the cursor in an undesirable position for starting a search, they must close the dialog, correct it, then reopen.

Export multiline value from one cell in output into single excel cell
When exporting to excel table which has more lines value in one cell, linqpad splits the lines into separate cells and other "single line" values on the same row are merged into one. It would be nice to have multiline values also in one cell in excel.

Add support for stored procedures that have table-valued parameters
LINQ to SQL can't be used with stored procedures that use table valued parameters. However, since LINQPad is sooooo much more than a simple LINQ tool :-), it would be useful if stored procedures that use table valued parameters were also visible and editable and even usable in appropriate ADO.NET code.

Ability to divide the panes vertically

Support versioning of Nuget Packages
It would be great to have the ability to choose a version other than the latest version of a Nuget package. Oftentimes, we find that latest versions of packages can break functionality or we are just not ready to move to latest version of package yet and we are not in control of the Nuget package itself.
I would like to be able to add Nuget reference and optionally supply a specific version string (it can be manual entry and not a list).
