  2. Make points on point chart more visible

    The sheer fact that I can make a point chart with one command is awesome, but the dots are very hard to see. Could you either make them bigger, or change colors to something that stands out more?

  5. LinqPad 6 - #load only in the file where it is needed

    I love the new feature where you can load other linqpad files with the #load directive this makes my linqpad file way more reusable and modular, however...

    When I have 3 files where file 1 includes file 2 and file 2 includes file 3 then file 1 also have to include file 3 even when not using any functionality from file 3 in file 1.

    It would be great if file 1 does not have to include file 3.

  6. Automatically adjust the grid column header to show sort indicator.

    Sometimes the natural grid display is too short to display the sort indicator after the header is clicked. This requires the user to expand the column header manually in order to see the hidden indicator. This could be done automatically when a column header is clicked.

  8. Support color blind users. Util dif uses red/green, editor colors. Allow us to specify colors. Start with visual studio color options?

    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.

  9. Make "My Queries" More Robust (Local, Private and Public Repos)

    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.

  10. LinqPad 6 Bug : Result of Async operation is null in watch

    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

  11. Add feature to generate entity framework core db context and entity classes...

    It would be great to have an option to generate entity framework core's dbcontext and entity classes from tables and views.

    The option can be added on right click on Table(s) or schema. Or by right clicking and selecting the tables/schemas.

    This should generate Db Context class containing DbSets for entity types generated along with mapping in OnModelCreating override.

    The dbcontext and entity classes can generated in single file or multiple files in the linqpad.

    Moreover, almost all the commands in dotnet ef utility can be added e.g. dbcontext scaffold, migrations (add, remove), update database etc.

    These would help increasing…

  12. Jetbrains Plugin

    As an avid user of Jetbrains, I'm always looking for things that are integrated with jetbrains (mostly for my key/vim bindings). Would it be reasonable to make this a plugin so we could use some of the functionality from within the IDE?

  13. Pinned tabs show in a separate row

    Add ability to have pinned tabs show in a separate row.

    This allows easier navigation between queries when you have many open at one time.

  14. Bug: Get Exception on Dump() Empty string if Dll Reference exists

    Hi
    I found an strange Exception eg. Bug in LinqPad.
    Following Code works:
    ´´´
    var e = foo();
    e.Dump();
    string foo() { return ""; }
    ´´´

    But if I add any Reference on *.dll over F4, "Additional References" and "Add/Browse"

    I get on .Dump() following Exception:
    "The type initializer for 'DumpExtensions' threw an exception."
    inner Exception: The invoked member is not supported in a dynamic assembly.

    This stops the practical using of Dump() in my Code.

  15. Handle Implicit Usings when using #load

    If using #load on a .NET 6 C# file that used implicit usings, LINQPad will complain when using anything from the implicit namespaces, such as saying that the type Action<> could not be found when System is implicit. It would be nice if LINQPad could handle implicit usings so if I #load such a file, it should function properly.

  16. Add "Export to JSON file" to result grid context menu.

    I do a lot of messing around in LINQPad, and sometimes I get a result I want to process further... but I didn't remember to export the results in my script. I can use the 'Export to CSV file' or 'Export to HTML file' options to get the data out and hope that I don't need any collection contents, but then I have to parse the CSV back into an object list in the next script.

    Could we please get an 'Export to JSON file' option that uses System.Tex.Json.JsonSerializer to create an export file? Indented formatting would be nice but…

  17. Add confirmation to closing more then query at a time

    Due to stress, evil mice and physical handicaps please add a confirmation box that verifies if the user wants to close more than one query, with option to shelve to a Shelve List and the ability to check not to be asked again for the very brave persons out there.

  19. Debug into scripts that are #load-ed

    It would be extremely useful to be able to debug into #load-ed scripts. I know they are scripts in themselves, and can be executed separately. But then maybe only allow this for .cs or .csx files?
