Find and replace dialog should not be modal
A few issues with a modal dialog:
If one wishes to undo a replace operation they must close the dialog, undo, then reopen it.
If the user has the cursor in an undesirable position for starting a search, they must close the dialog, correct it, then reopen.

allow F1 or Alt-F1 to bring up the table definition/schema
allow F1 or Alt-F1 to bring up the table definition/schema, like in SSMS-> alt F1 brings up tons of information about the highlighted table. it would be nice to have a mechanism for jumping straight to the table info via keyboard shortcut if the table name is highlighted.

Support MEF (Managed Extensibility Framework) based addins
The idea is to make it easy to develop reusbale plugins for LINQPad.
For example: LINQPad could scan a folder (say "plugins") and compile all the scripts therein. These scripts could then be added to a MEF catalog and therefore made available to all LINQPad scriptlets.
For example, if LINQPad were to support an interface ISettings which included a property called DataContext, it would be easy to add new DataContext providers
interface ISettings
{
DataContext dataContext;
}Then when LINQPad (or a script) needed to access the DataContext it would merely use the its DataContext property, with all the heavy…

Add server environment coloring in query designer
It would be awesome to be able to define along with every database connection some description, and custom color, which will then be shown in some corner in query designer.
It is usefull to warn you when you are accessing development, test or production database (or any other depending on the message you provided with connection string).
That way you can easily see, green means I'm good, red means extra carefull. Much safer than to accidentaly query the wrong database and alter the production data by accident.

please support Console.ForegroundColor
I use LinqPad for deployment scripts, and it would be really useful to be able to write error messages to the console in Red. Currently ForegroundColor does not work.

Can I get more than 1000 characters in the parameters section of the SQL output pane?
I have been using LINQPad to deploy a few large strings directly into a database table, but I recently needed to get the full script of what was being generated so I could deploy in an environment without LINQPad. When I opened the SQL output pane, the declaration which held the variable containing my 9 KB string was limited to the first 1,000 characters. Is there somewhere I can configure LINQPad so it will not truncate the SQL output as shown below?
-- Region Parameters
DECLARE @p0 VarChar(1000) = 'CNV'
DECLARE @p1 NVarChar(1) = N'declare @interfaceId int = 70;...…

Dump() not generating navigation properties for large tables
When querying a table with a large number of columns, navigation properties are not appended to the table.
In particular, Table A I'm querying has 41 columns and does not produce the navigation properties.
Table B with 29 columns does produce the navigation properties.
We have a 1:Many (one table B for many table A). The link from TableB -> TableA does show, and it's not an issue with foreign keys, I suspect it's a hard limit we've crossed excluding the properties from generating

Support multiple tab panes (a.k.a. tab groups)
...like SQL Server Management Studio for example, so I can look at multiple code snippets and/or result sets side-by-side together, and so I can organize related stuff together when I'm using LINQPad for multiple projects at once.

Add ability to group connections by server
For people who end up having more than just a few connections, it would be very handy to be able to group connections by server (perhaps default to the server name but also allow the user to replace it with an alias).

Team Foundation support
I've checked in my queries in TFS, it would be nice if LinqPad could checkout queries when i start editing them.

Implement auto-save on compile.
I am so used to the 'save on compile' option in Visual Studio, that I can't get into the habit of saving in Linqpad until I have finished or closing linqpad (and since Linqpad is so useful it never gets closed).
This has resulted in me losing work several times.
Would it be hard to add an option to save files to the temporary folder when a query is run.
Don't need there is a need to attempt to recover the files, as I can go looking for them.Thanks

Show the JIT assembly code like Visual Studio's Disassembly window
Sometimes rather than viewing IL I want to see the exact assembly code the JIT produces on my computer. LINQPad is a perfect place for such a playground.

Add shared directory to My Queries
We use Linqpad allot at work and it would be great if we could add a network share to the My Queries are, or even add a shortcut in Windows Explorer in the My Queries directory and have it load files from there.

Keep history of the results
It would be great if you keep an history the last x (10,20,...) of the results (especially the html, but also SQL would be nice), including the time it took, and the date-time of the execution.
It could be very useful when comparing the results (both output data and time it took).
Many thanks!
