Export and import preferences and connections
I use LINQPad on three different computers. It would be very helpful to be able to export the preferences and connections from one so they can be imported into another instance.

Git/Github integration for our queries
I don't mean a fully support as it's hard to do. Just Commit and Merge or something like that. I don't mind on configure the first time the repositorioes, but it would be nice too. Maybe something like the Team Explorer (Idk if you can take advantage of that). I use multiples PCs and I do that manually from the console (easier to forget to do it).

Add support to paste clipboard JSON as classes
It would be great if LINQPad could create classes from a JSON object in the clipboard (Just like the WebEssentials extension for VisualStudio can do)

LinqPad integration into Excel
A really nice feature would be an integration of LinqPad into Excel, a bit like Tsunami. I presume that it shouldn't be too difficult to implement with ExcelDna.
What would be really nice is features like being able to run Linq query against excel ranges, and if possible (like in F#) having auto-complete with column names.
LinqPad to excel (making functions available as udf in excel) is also nice but I think less useful.

Resharper Keyboard Shortcuts
I know not everyone uses Resharper, but a lot of people do. It'd be really nice to have an option to map keyboard shortcuts for any of the new refactoring or navigation features to the standard resharper keys.
I'd also like to see goto definition and goto declaration in the right click menu as I use these all the time (I believe VS2015 now has the equivalent of these anyway).
I'm so tied to this product that I even find myself trying to use the shortcut keys in Word :)
Thank You!

Add T4 to the list of languages
Having an access to data or implementing your own data provider, will make LinqPad an awesome tool for AutoCode Generation and Testing.
I wrote my own MsSqlMetaData (Just and EF provider for system views, it's on NuGet) provider and currently generating a lot of code, but writing c# programs to generate code is not as easy as using text templates.27 votes -

Online version of LINQPad
Would you consider creating an online version of LINQPad? I'm learning LINQ and Rx and it would be nice to stay in the browser to try out the cool queries and examples I see online. .Net Fiddle does LINQ, but I'm sure it doesn't have the nice output options that LINQPad has.

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.

Reopen previous tabs after restart
If I have open 4 tabs, then close LinqPad and restart it again, it would be nice to have the tab's open as it was before. Same behavior as notepad++

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;...…

Export multiline value from one cell in output into single excel cell
When exporting to excel table which has more lines value in one cell, linqpad splits the lines into separate cells and other "single line" values on the same row are merged into one. It would be nice to have multiline values also in one cell in excel.
