1. Make vim integration better

   Using GVim and VsVim all day where the integration/functionality is almost perfect and then switching to the linqpad editor is painful. Lots of actions dont' work the same way in linqpad that work in vim, some examples:
   Visual mode select then x to delete
   Visual mode select then y to yank
   No option to yank/paste using clipboard
   Many dot commands like replace ending ; to , with A<-, don't work
   Braces navigation using %
   Visual mode navigation, example V then Ctrl+d
   Visual block mode doesn't work
   The list could go on, these are just some examples I run into every day

2. allow opendatasource in LINQ

   openDataSource and openRowSet don't seem to work in LINQPad under LINQ instead of SQL. I use these on a number of queries, and would hate to have to go back to SQL everytime I needed data from another server on the one I'm on.

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

   include another .vb file(s) in a .linq file... perhaps a "#include aFile.linq" directive...
   Will be a start point to use a library of classes or functions...

4. Support Open Types (Dynamic Properties)

   Since linqpad is such a nice UI, it would be great for it to provide first-class support for open types (entities with dynamic properties)

5. Have the ability to create templates in my queries?

   It would be nice to click on a template query and get a new copy of that query, rather than edit the query itself. Perhaps a right-click on the query in the "My Queries" tab would let you open/clone the query without having to open the original, clone it, close it, then do what you wanted to do in the first place.

   FYI, I can't live without this LinqPad.

6. Support Copy & Paste from LINQPad to Google Docs Spreadsheet

   Currently when mulitple columns of data are copied from LINQPad and pasted to a Google Spreadsheet they result in a single column of data, whereas pasting to Excel preserves the columns.

   Supporting Google Spreadsheets would save us Google Apps/Docs users from the extra step of copying or exporting to Excel.

7. Ability to turn off automatic population of DataContext with each query run

   Sometimes it's very time-consuming for LINQPad to automatically repopulate the schema/datacontext with each run of a query. It would be great if there were a manual refresh mode, with the option to manually refresh the schema. (I'd even be able to live without the ability to trigger a refresh in a Query window, as the workaround presumably would be to save and reload the query, or to clone it.)

   Great product. I purchased autocomplete I love this thing so much, but I'd love it more with this feature.

   Thanks!

8. Auto update references

   The enhanced search for assembly references is perfect. It would be great if VS2010/F# adopted it like you built it.

   It would be great to have an auto update on reference version that are no longer found. I frequently update the Rx.NET references and it's pain to update every single .linq files.

9. Default language to the language you used in the previous session

   LINQPad currently defaults to C# Expression. I would prefer VB Expression. If you default to last language everyones happy.

11. Include navigation properties as cells in output, allow expansion of them after initial query

    Many times after running an expensive query, I realize that there's one more navigation property that I want to see the results of following it. Currently that means rewriting the initial query enough to do so and then re-running the entire query.

    The idea is that instead, when an entity/row is written to the output, it includes cells for the navigation properties as well (not just scalar ones) with those cells containing buttons, or links, or whatever such that the user can 'trigger' them while interacting with the results pane.

    This would both prevent users from having to re-create and re-run their queries as they're interactively exploring data, and make LINQPad a great data exploration tool. For instance, I could then run a simple query to get a Customer object, but then interactively (in the results pane) follow navigation properties off of it for address, orders, etc.

    If the idea of making the results pane interactive (and having the content modified as the user clicks the button/link/whatever to follow an entity's navigation property) is too far 'out there' for LINQPad with the current codebase, something that might be more viable is to have the navigation property follow either 1) append to the results (so the resulting entit(y/ies) would be just appended to the end of results, or perhaps in another tab. The key bit, I think, is that during the initial dump of results, we should know the necessary query to follow a particular entity's navigation property, so we could write that as 'script text' behind that button/link/whatever in the results window.

    If there's something that does this kind of interactive following of navigation properties (maybe some existing WPF app?), please feel free to point me at it - I can certainly understand if this is deemed out of scope for LINQPad. :)

12. Add a Util.ReadPassword method

    Util.ReadLine is very handy, but sometimes I use it to enter passwords, and I don't want other people looking at the screen to see my password... A Util.ReadPassword method that hides the input would be nice

13. NuGet Package Management

    Please consider NuGet integration.

    I would also suggest changing LINQPad scripts to not just be XML files but indeed something like a tar'd/zip'd archive of XML and DLL files with NuGet integration and update mechanism.

    This would be super compelling and useful and much more light-weight than using NuGet from VS.

15. Add Expand / collapse item for structure of DBs left panel

    Hi,

    In the left panel which holds all the connection a new menu items should be added -- expand / collapse all below this node. While creating SQL queries I often forget which tables has which fields, and I have to manually expand the nodes (root > db > user > table). It takes a time. With my suggestion user will be able to perform this action in 2 clicks.

    Thanks

19. copy-paste & indentation

    I would like an option to auto-include the indentation of first line for copy-paste convenience,

    I find when I copy-paste pieces of code around, I place the cursor usually at the starting word. Then I would hold the shift key to select the lines below. This results in excluding indentation characters of the first line, but including the indentation for the lower lines.

    When you then paste this block, you would place the cursor at the correct position, but the lines under that appear 'one level too deep'.

    I could work around it, by adjusting my selection to include the indentation of the first line, But old habits seem hard to kick and I find myself un-indenting the pasted code frequently.
