  1. 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?

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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…

  6. 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.

  7. Allow Hyperlinq as Dump() header (Results Rich Text only?):

    .Dump(new Hyperlinq("https://www.linqpad.net/", "LINQPad"))

  8. 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?

  9. Would be nice to have custom keymaps like the vscode one.
    And actions like ctrl+D in vscode, move line up, down, delete line, copy line.

  10. While i try to store my snippets with a name which gives me a hint about what i try to accomplish, it would be helpful if i could place a ///<summary> code comment at the beginning. To display this information it could be either an info icon (which is only shown when a summary comment exists), an expansion panel with the summary below the script name or simply as tooltip.

  11. I often have many queries against the same db schema against different connections (eg dev, qa, staging) and it would make it much easier to find the right on if it included the connection name in the queries drop down

  13. It would be nice to send a linqpad query window to something like http://pastie.org/ so that it is easy to request assistance from others.

  14. When testing our application's objects via LP, our System.Diagnostic.Debug.WriteXXX messages are being captured in the Results window. Is there any way of disabling this feature in LP?

  15. It would be handy if LINQPad closed to the system try so that it could be get around all the time. It's a great lightweight tool for trying out things.

  18. For example, when querying with a group by clause with multiple keys, shift+click the Key field make all Key properties collapse or expand.

  19. I was a little surpursed when i installed the app that it was not in the program list. Granted it is small and i typically use the autocomplete to find and launch apps but it does make me question future maintenance, uninstall and clean up issues.
