  2. LINQPad 9 - Show My Scripts location as just LINQPad Queries

    Currently, it displays the absolute path. Perhaps it could be shown on hover for those who might find it useful.

  4. close saved

    Add a new menu item for closing all saved tabs. This would be similar to vscode "Close Saved".

    I often find I am in a state where I open things up and there are 20 documents, some with (duplicate) etc. Cleaning them all up is a bit of a pain.

    Close all comes up with a dialog with four documents with Yes, No, or Cancel.
    Not sure what to do at that point.

  5. add a "Close Saved" menu item - similar to vscode

    Often I end up in a state with 20 tabs open, some with conflicts ( duplicate ).

    I'd like to close all the saved ones, so I can sort out the four or five unsaved ones.

    Doh, I found it on File -> Close Unmodified Queries.

    It would be nice to have that on right clicking a document tab as well.

  6. Detect links in the result set, starting with http(s), and allow users to click and navigate

    Detect links in the result set, starting with http(s), and allow users to click and navigate. This helps to form links and validate them.

    For example, SELECT 'https://www.nuget.org/packages/Newtonsoft.Json';

    The result should be a clickable link that opens in the browser.

  7. Workspace Separation (Super-Tabs)

    I use Linqpad for multiple projects and usually have multiple queries open pr project.

    It would be really nice if i could visually separate each collection of queries with super-tabs

    I guess something similar to Postman which is able to handle multiple collections of API's

    If you are already working on a visual remake or upgrade - maybe have this in your mind when making it :)

  9. Add Intellisense or Package Explorer support for the #:package directive

    This is a minor request, but it would be nice to have visualization or Intellisense support when exploring packages using the #:package directive. Currently, it would be even better if package additions in File-based App code were synchronized with the #:package directive.

  10. Add a UI option to use native Windows titlebars and window borders in the LinqPad main window

    In LinqPad 9.4, I've been toggling the "Enable Mica background with Light theme" checkbox, which (for me, at least) seems to also control whether or not the LinqPad Settings window uses "native" Windows titlebars and window-borders - and I've come to prefer native Windows titlebars because I much prefer my specific Active Titlebar color - and I'm certain I can definitely feel UI actions (like dragging the window around) feels slighly more sluggish when the LinqPad Mica option is enabled - but much snappier when it's off.

    ...but regardless of the Mica switch, the LinqPad 9.4 main window seems to…

  11. Get rid of 'delete save as/download' from linqpad UI.

    This is a very bad and awful feature. It's redundant with file explorer abilities which is the only place I would delete my saved files. All my saved files are now gone. LP should only allow clearing the history (which is what I thought I was doing) and NOT/NEVER/EVER DELETE/REMOVE/DISCARD any files saved or otherwise.

  12. Ranny Meier

    Allow EF6 DbContext assembly to make connection in LINQPad V9. We are able to easily use our EF6 DbContext assembly in various NET 8 projects in Visual Studio.  We have yet to be able to do this in a LINQPad V9 query.

    I tried a NuGet driver.
    Peter-B-/Ef6.Core.LINQPadDriver: Entity Framework 6 driver for LINQPad 6 (.Net Core)

    InvalidOperationException: No connection string named 'JASContext' could be found in the application config file.

  13. Automatically Collapse code to Definitions upon opening a script

    Add a setting to Automatically Collapse to Definitions upon opening a script. Especially useful for large scripts.

  14. Organize connections in the Connection drop down like they are with connection groups

    It would be nice if the Connection drop down had submenues organized based on menu groups when they exist.

  15. Custom KeyStroke to run script

    Now that LinqPad 9 supports custom keystrokes, it would be nice if I could assign a key to run a script or failing that to run Automator.linq.

  17. Add option to 'Search Open Documents' in 'Search All Scripts / Samples...'

    Linqpad now has the option to search unsaved and untitled queries via the 'Search Open Documents' command.

    It would be handy if this could be added to the existing 'Search All Scripts / Samples...'

  19. Ctrl + E as alternative execute query shortcut

    It would be great if the Ctrl+E SSMS shortcut would be enabled as an alternative to F5. It's easier to reach and makes sense (E for Execute).
