pre-allocate listbox storage for intellisense drop-down to improve performance
The intellisense dropdown uses the standard ListBox which calls SendMessage to the native listbox instance once for each new intellisense item. For many items, this can be incredibly slow.
However, it seems that listbox supports pre-allocation for memory when a large number of items will be added:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/controls/lb-initstorage
Making direct use of this API would enable performance improvements when a large number of intellisense items (up to 32k) are present - on my machine (32 core), a few thousand results in 10-30 seconds of delay every time a new intellisense dropdown opens, which is almost completely unusable. This fix could…

UI, usability (Restart, Results pane)
Minor suggestions or options,
1: restart button (Execute, Break, Cancel, Restart) & customizable shortcut for it.
2: results pane growing results backwards, the newest line(s) on top of the pane, this would help debugging and testing hardware (IoT:s) a lot.
I know, there is auto scroll option, but LIOT (last-in-on-top) would be nice.1 vote -
conditional caching and cache querying
If I want cross-execution (being able to F5, F5, F5) cache certain fetched web pages (only if they actually return a 200ish result). I can't make use of the existing very helpful cache method options.
I don't want a failed attempt to be cached, and I want to be able to cache all
successes.I'd like it if we could have the following signature off the existing Util class
T CacheIf<T>(string key, Func<T> f, Func<T,bool> predicate, byref<bool> fromCache)also very usefulIsCached(string key).A work around would be to litter the code with throws and try/catch.

Improvements for running LinqPad from RD client on iPad with Magic keyboard
I mostly use Linqpad from iPad, connected to my Windows laptop using MS Remote Desktop on iPad. (RD Client)
I have a Ipad magic keyboard and works really well, but there are a few issues that is a bit enoying with LinqPad
There is no button in Linqpad for zooming the editor and it does not work using the keyboard. and as I use different zoom values on laptop and ipad this means I have to go to my laptop to change the zoom.
The ipad does not have F-keys so I need to remap these on windows and this…

Scroll through open tabs with the mouse wheel
When there are many tabs open, they overflow and one must use the arrow buttons to view the hidden ones, which is a tedious and time-consuming process.
When the mouse is hovered the scroll bar, the mouse wheel should scroll through the visible tabs, just as the arrows do now.
I use this feature very heavily in the programs that support it (e.g. Visual Studio, Sublime Text, Firefox, etc.), and it makes finding the tab I need a way faster and easier process than repeatedly clicking the left and right buttons until the desired tab comes into view. It would…

Using EF typed data context from assembly without Dbset
In most of the projects that I work on, we don't usually set DbSet<T> properties inside the DbContext and we rely on the IEntityTypeConfiguration<T> to set the names of the tables.
It would be a great idea to support dynamic dbsets without the need for setting the dbset for each entity that I need to use in LINQPad

Expose CWD of LinqPad as `Util.HostCurrentDirectory`
This would allow to start LinqPAD in a specific working directory and allow a script to do some work in there.

Query limit hit -> prompt to clear & continue
When LINQPad hits a hard limit on output size, the query continues
execution but no longer renders .Dump() output.
The idea is to pause execution & add a 'clear output window' hyperlink to the "Limit of query" message to allow script to continue.This could be an option in case people dont want this behavior.

Inline CSS for LINQpad controls
As it stands you need to define a style using Util.HtmlHead.AddStyles
I would love to be able to say:
new Button("Do Something", ...) { CssStyle = "margin-left: 5px;" };1 vote -
Define keyboard events for output window
I am a huge fan of the new ContinueButton().Dump().Wait approach found online
however when using it for something that enumerates a large list, it would be really nice to be able to attach a keyboard event to it in the output window so i don't necessarily have to click to trigger it.

ScrollIntoView for LINQpad controls
For LINQPad controls : add a ScrollIntoView() function. This would cause the query window to scroll to wherever it landed on the Dump() output.

Ctrl + S shortcut does not work when the explorer pange is too narrow.
When the Explorer View is too narrow (i.e. removed to occupy as less screen space as it is possible), I cannot save the code by pressing Ctrl + S. My LINQPad version is 7.4.9 (X64) for Windows. Please see the screen recording that shows the issue:

Can this be fixed in the next version?

Add a keyboard shortcut to move / reorder tabs
Suggest Ctrl+Shift+PgUp/PgDn, as that seems a popular choice, both in browsers and Notepad++.
Thanks.

Add Empty or Blank as option for "Style sheet for text (HTML) results"
There are some instances where I want to have more control of the HTML formatting in the results window. For example, I am testing generating some HTML emails and need a blank slate to see what it would look like. I would like the option to not have ANY of the default styles added to the results window. I can always copy the ones I need into the stylesheet editor. I hope this would be a simple feature to add :) A Util method to dump into a new Results window tab (like the data grid does) but with no…

Collapse Code: handle additional cases
In LinqPad we can use the +/- buttons in the UI to hide blocks of code; whole methods, ELSE blocks etc.
I would love to see this extended to the following:
- New Lists. I don't always want to see all the new items added to a new list, so seeing just
Options = new List<Thing>is fine rather than
Options = new List<Thing> { new Thing(), new Thing(), ....... }- Property Initialization. Similarly, I don't always want to see all the properties that are set during an object's initialization. So seeing it collapsed to
Person p = new()is fine…

Add Dump parameter that will exclude properties having a null value
There are many times that I'm using Linqpad to investigate sparsely populate objects, such as from a database row with 5/100 columns having a non-null value.
In these cases, my results pane is littered with uninteresting information.
I propose a feature allowing me to exclude rendering dump output for properties having a null value. For example: https://imgur.com/a/nkHqn47

Option for async Task Main() as default for C# Program
Since so many developers do async programming now, could you add an option for the default Main method of a C# Program to be "async Task Main()" instead of "void Main()"?
