Add option in context menu to "Open In Browser"
When the grid outputs a link as its value, right clicking the cell would provide an option to "Open In Browser"
...
Additionally, this same functionality could be customizable (perhaps a customize context menu section within SQL Prompt options) to allow for other applications, wherein the highlighted/cell value is passed as a parameter to a given application. This would be similar to the External Tools, which is provided within SSMS, but having that option right there in the context menu would be gold.So, in the case of a URL, I right click the cell, choose Open In Browser, and…

Allow importing of .settings file, and setting Code formatting/snippets folders and default formatting style to be done via Command line
I would like to be able to better automate our onboarding process for new developers by helping ensure their snippets folder, formatting style folder and default formatting style are correctly setup. Additionally we would like to be able to automatically import settings from UNC/source control for them. This reduces the inevitability that something is missed when trying to follow a setup guide we have to additionally maintain. Thanks!

ST008
I'd like to vote for adding ST008 (non-named parameter style used) to the issues which can be auto-fixed. Hopefully it would be fairly simple to implement.

Use named parameters when encapsulating as new stored procedure
It would be nice if the "Encapsulate as new stored procedure" logic used named parameter style so I don't immediately get ST008 in my code which calls the new proc.

Don't allow for aliases that match snippet acronyms
What I sometimes run into, is that a table gets an alias (by SQL prompt), that matches an acronym for a snippet. Then, whenever I'm writing out my query, while calling the table by alias, snippet manager replaces the alias with the full snippet. Which can be annoying as Ctrl-Z doesn't work.
My suggestion would be to check the snippet manager before assigning aliases and not have them overlap.

Stop resetting defaults (like paths) with every Update
I spent a lot of time setting up custom directories for various products/features and its frustrating how SQL Prompt resets this with each new update forcing me to go back and change all these paths/defaults back to what they were before.

Prevent suggestions after typing a number
It would be good to have an option to not offer suggestions after typing a number. If i'm about to enter a constant such as set @var = 1 I usually don't want to see suggestions containing 1. Often I have to turn suggestions off to type a number.

Prevent suggestions after typing a single quote.
It would be good to have an option to not offer suggestions after typing a single quote. If i'm about to enter a text string I usually don't want to see suggestions. Often I have to turn suggestions off to type a quoted string.

Be able to add space between two right parentheses
When I have two right parentheses next to each other like in a query like this (in the OPTION clause)
SELECT Columns
FROM TableA
INNER JOIN TableB
ON TableA.Key = TableB.Key
OPTION( USE HINT( N'FORCE_DEFAULT_CARDINALITY_ESTIMATION' ) )There doesn't appear to be an option to have the space between the two right parentheses at the end. I have tried checking/unchecking quite a few boxes in the formatting style editor, and I don't think anything is controlling this. To me, the "add spaces around parentheses contents" option should put a space between the two right parentheses, but it doesn't.

Vertical rivers - cobol style
When writing SQL I don't think procedurally, which means I don't think about nested, indented "blocks" unless I'm actually using some procedural style SQL extensions like try/catch, if, case (which is a little procedural expression inside a set based statement), and so on.
Because of this, I like to align various different "types of things" in a statement to create vertical rivers.
So, for example, insert, update, select, from, join, where, group by, having, and order by are all aligned on the left. You might think of this as "column 1 - sql keywords".
Then come column names, table names…

Aliases
On SQL Prompt Aliases section I would like to have on custom aliases when I add a new a dropdown or a list view where I can pick object instead of me writing the object name. it would be even better if it has an option to show only object not already added with alias.

sonarqube
Have SonarQube plugin that will do code analysis using your rules rather than TSQL or PLSQL plugins

Automatically alias tables and columns in existing scripts
Please could you add a feature that parses a query that has already been written, adds aliases for tables that don't already have them and update columns to use those aliases.
This is because I often get pieces of code which are partially aliased and I have to go through updating the missing ones. Thanks.

Allow custom rules for code analysis
SQL Prompt has the ability to catch and warn about Update statements without Where clauses.
How about something similar that catches and warns about security commands like Grant or Deny.

SSMS - object list - filter from clipboard
In the right-click menu of the "Tables" branch in SSMS, create an extra item that would retrieve string from system clipboard and apply it as an object name filter (using the SSMS built-in [Filter] => [Filter settings] => [Name] => [Contains] feature).
This would allow for instant filtering, saving lot of time.

align aliases
Please, separate options to align aliases for columns and tables..... I love aligned column aliases, but table aliases advance too far right, unnecessarily.

Make Ctrl-Y repeat last action
I use actions (from the ctrl menu) a lot. It would be extremely handy if I could re-do last action on the currently selected text by simply hitting Ctrl-Y (rather than hitting Ctrl and selecting it from the list of actions again and again).

Make a
Similar to visual studio code, it would be good to have a find and replace all occurrences by highlighting what you would like to replace. This would then give you the option to type in what you want to replace. I know Sql Server has a find and replace function, however I just really like this functionality and think it would be a great addition to SQL prompt

More Casing/Capitalization Options
Regardless of the source table, we would like the option to force table, column, and alias names to lower case. (We integrate databases from multiple sources and our queries look like a mess when half of the columns are upper case and half are lower).
Example:
SELECT dp.PROJ_ID AS cp_proj_id,
pld.suffix AS project_segment,
IP.project_number AS inn_proj_id
FROM DEL.PROJ AS dp
INNER JOIN DEL.view_project_lvl_detail AS pld
ON pld.PROJ_ID = dp.proj_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN inn.PROJ AS IP
ON dp.PROJ_ID LIKE IP.cp_proj_id + '%'I think this is hard to read. We'd prefer the keywords to standout as uppercase and standardize all out…
