Add additional database option in menus
I feel like the 'easy' way to add additional databases to a query is way too cryptic: holding down Ctrl while dragging the additional db to the query.
There should be a menu option when right-clicking a database in the connections pane, or in the Query menu. Just somewhere where you can discover it intuitively, in stead of having to check the FAQ.1 vote -
easier Date/Time data entry in grid
Our database has an audit field:
[ActionDateUtc] DATETIMEOFFSET NOT NULL CONSTRAINT DEFAULT (SYSDATETIMEOFFSET()),
When I click "Add Row", this field is defaulted blank rather than null, and annoying since the only way to enter a date at this point is to manually key it in.
Save fails due to SQL overflow, and since save happens when you move off the record, it's not easy to copy/paste an existing one.
Ideally it would be fantastic if LINQPad would recognize that the value will be supplied by the DB, failing that a right click menu to enter 'now' or 'utc now' would…

Dump of enumeration of inherited objects should display actual classes
If I have an enumeration of nodes that can be of type text/html/custom I get the class specific properties in their own columns but there is not indication on the actual class of each line.
When debugging or investigating deep class hierarchies knowing the exact class each line was would be very helpful.
Now one have to determine this through the properties which is not always easy, especially with library code that you have no internal knowledge of.

show current connection database name for ef db context
When working with curom assembly and connection string coming from config it's not clear which database and server working with as name of the connection will be name of the db contesxt in particular assembly.
It would be really useful to find out which server and database names and also allow different color code base on the name of database or server to distinguish between dev/test/prod.

Show username in title bar when impersonating (RUNAS)
I often have multiple LINQPad windows open under different credentials, required for operations against remote servers, but I loose track of which is which. I'd be handy for me to show the username in the title bar (perhaps only if impersonating via RUNAS)

Ability to turn off the automatic query-finder in My Queries when you switch tabs
When I switch tabs, I don't want the Query-tree to update to find the query I'm currently editing. When you have lots of folders it gets rather irritating after a while.

Dump() method. Show type of empty arrays.
Normally Dump() will show the type and length of an array, as well as it's contents. However, empty arrays are shown as "(0 items)", it would be good too see that the object is indeed an array of a specific type.
So e.g. if I do:
====
var fields = "".Split(',')fields.Dump();
We see:
String[] (0 items)

Support disabling code folding
Code folding is neat and all, but to some users it is just an annoyance. Please allow us to disable it.

Let the autogenerated DataContext table classes use properties, not fields
When using Visual Studio to generate a DataContext, the table classes use properties for the columns. When LINQPad does it, it uses fields, not properties. This is bad, because it creates a (too) subtle difference between the 2 tools. Code that works in one, may not work in the other.

Provide Recently Used list for Find and Replace text
I would love to see the the "Find what" and "Replace with" text boxes turned into combo boxes that drop down to show recently used values. It would be particularly helpful when performing non-trivial regex searches.

Use dynamic (ExpandoObject) properties as column headers in output
I have a script that produces an array of dynamic objects whose properties are all identical. It would be nice to have the output formatted as a single table whose columns are the properties of the dynamic objects rather than a table with a single column, Items, with links in each row to the Key/Value pairs.

I want to suggest LINQPad can utilize SignalR to output results into browsers. That will useful for multiple monitor users.

Lowercase VB keywords option
Since VB is case-insensitive, all its keywords can be lowercase without affecting compilation. In Linqpad4, I use to type all my VB code in lowercase (it's somehow much more readable). Now with LP5, I get code completion and other nice stuff, but all my nice lowercase code gets put back in normal VB style. If it's not too much work, a "Lowercase VB keywords" option would be great.

Auto-Expand Data Grid columns
When I query and get Data Grid results back, the columns always come out fairly narrow. I have to then click on each column to read it. The Data Grid controller allows you to expand all columns so that all data is visible in each. This would be helpful to have

Let "Export to ..." default to the users Documents directory (or let it be configurable).
I've never yet wanted to export my results to my queries directory (or whereever it defaults to now). I don't get the current behaviour ... do people actually want this ?

Exclusive Results Window Per Query Tab - detached mode
Keep results window exclusive to each tab so that various tab results can be compared or referenced when needed. Let's say I want to see the results of a query as a reference to other query I'm working on another tab, the result window goes blank as it is linked to the current query which is blank since not executed yet. But I still want to see the previous query results that I detached earlier.
May be an option to PIN/LOCK the results window to the query tab exclusively so that other tab's execution results will create a new results…
