  1. Support IntelliSense for F# too!

    Please add F# support in this area! In a language where the types are almost always inferred (rather than almost always declared), something to show currently inferred typing would be a huge plus! Not to mention the usual autocomplete on library elements etc.

  2. Editor Auto Indent

    I keep hitting Ctr+K+D to auto indent my code when i'm in linqpad but it comments my code instead.

    it would be great if linqpad could indent the code automatically.

  3. include another .cs file(s) in a .linq file

    in "C# Program" mode:

    void Main()
    {
    ...
    }
    // Define other methods and classes here

    include MyClass.cs // <--- something like this

    So that we can have MyClass defined in another file (MyClass.cs) and just include it instead of copy&pasting the code. This would allow better code separation and re-use.

  7. Add basic vi style editing mode

    I use vim a lot, and ViEmu in visual studio.
    Adding vi style editing modes to linqpad would make it absolutely perfect. It doesn't have to be comprehensive, just hjkl movement, dd, cw, dw, w, $ and : commands would be great.

  10. Save/restore queries on close or manually

    I'm a multitasker, and I usually have 7 or 8 (or 20) tabs open in LINQPad. When I need to restart my computer, or for whatever reason close LINQPad, I could to save each of my queries (coming up with a meaningful name for each), remember which ones I had open, and reopen them one by one when I restart, but I find it's quicker and easier to just kill LINQPad with Task Manager so that it will offer to reload all my tabs for me automatically. I would be nice if LINQPad had the option to save and restore…

    completed  ·  AdminJoe Albahari (LINQPad) (CEO / Founder, LINQPad) responded

    This is now available from V6.9.12 (in beta as of June 2020). It employs a new autosave engine that serializes all editor operations, so that the undo/redo stack is restored along with the query. You can choose to shelve queries upon exit, or by default in the Edit | Preferences dialog. A conflict-detection mechanism ensures that you can’t accidentally overwrite a query that’s been subsequently edited via cloud synchronization or another application. Enjoy!

  11. Ability to add config

    Sometimes I use Linqpad to reference an existing data access library for one of my applications to quickly test something but if the functions I'm testing in the library refer to configuration settings the query fails. We should be able to specify an app.config in the advanced query properties.

  14. Cross Database Linq support

    LinqPad should be able to do Cross-Database statements.

    The user could enable this, by manually adding the tables from each database which should be used in the statement...

    Currently this option is enabled by making a DataContext and use that. however, it would be much faster if Linqpad supported this natively...

  16. Open Table for Edit as in SQL Server Mgmt Studio

    SQL Server Mgmt Studio allows one to open tables for editing data. In order for LINQPad to be able to replace SQL Server Mgmt Studio, as the LINQPad challenge suggests, the editing data directly feature is needed

  18. Support Oracle / MySql / SqLite Databases

    What are people's thoughts on this? Which is more important: Oracle, MySql or SqLite? Should the support be through custom Entity Framework-driven DataContexts or via automatic DataContexts?

  19. Include other scripts

    I'd like to factor out some code into a script I include because I use this code across scripts. I don't want to have to compiled to an assembly and reference it because then I can't "script" it anymore.

    Please include an "include" syntax or GUI setup (which will then obviously manifest itself in the .linq XML prelude.)

  20. Add ability to target .NET Core

    .NET Core is gaining adoption, and I find myself needing to experiment on .NET Core more and more, especially since .NET Core has it's own surface area. It be great to be able to do this in LINQPad.

    I don't need LINQPad to run Mac/Linux, just the Windows version to be able to target .NET Core.
