Formatting a section (selected code block) with CTRL+K, CTRL+Y). This would allow me to highlight a section of a proc and format it to my liking and leave the (abomination) of the proc body untouched.

Put single quote marks around highlighted text (including multiple lines)
Very often i have copied a list of items i want to query in an IN() statement from the database, for example:
abc
def
ghi
jkland I want to format it like this:
'abc'
'def'
'ghi'
'jkl'or better yet:
'abc', 'def'
, 'ghi'
, 'jkl'Being able to highlight, right click, and select an option do do this, would be incredibly helpful.

SQL Formatter error
When using OPENJSON with the WITH clause, the formatter does not recognize the WITH clause as valid SQL. This should format but throws an error:
DECLARE @JSONString NVARCHAR(MAX) SET @JSONString = N'{"Vendors":[{"VendorNumber":200,"VendorName":"Vendor1"},{"VendorNumber":201,"Vendo2"},{"VendorNumber":202,"VendorName":"Vendor3"}]}'

Exclude a region from formatting
Sometimes, formatting makes a query less readable, e.g.
insert table (col1, col2, col3, ....)
values (1,2,3,...),
(11,12,13,...),
...Formatting will put the values on multiple lines if there are enough of them. It's easier to see the data when they are on one line. So how about:
--#region [optional description] #SQLPromptIgnore
--anything in here doesn't get formatted
--#endregion [optional description]Not sure what would be best for '#SQLPromptIgnore'

Formatting of Valid Selected code when there is invalid code in the script
I used to be able to format selected code, as long as it was valid. Now when I select code that is valid in a larger script that has invalid code it does not format the selected code at all. If the invalid code immediately precedes it it will suggest that there is an error in the first character of my selection when there is none, else it will just act like it did something but do nothing. This used to work and is a frustration now. This has been the case with both 7.3 betas and I believe at…

format is now deleting extra lines after the query
Looks like version 7.3 of SQLPrompt removes all blank lines after the query that it formats. Please change this back or make it optional to delete blank lines at the bottom of the query.

RECEIVE statement - Format SQL ignores
;
RECEIVE TOP(1)
@h = conversationhandle,
@t = messagetypename,
@b = messagebody
FROM SimpleQueueTargetFrom the Service Broker Workbench on Simple Talk.
It only moves the semicolon to a separate line. No errors. Ignores "comma at start".
And, yes, the @'s above probably start in column 1, when they're actually in col 5.

Format "case" keyword also in uppercase
When formatting a case statement I want the case keyword to show in uppercase just like the when and end keywords. Now initially it uppercases CASE but when running SQL format it turns it to lowercase (bug?) See example below of the current format behaviour.

Incorrect capitalization of system functions
The SQL Prompt formatter incorrectly tries to capitalize (whether automatically while I type or using the formatter) system functions that are missing a database prefix. For example, SQL Prompt doesn't try to capitalize:
sys.fn_listextendedproperty
but it WILL capitalize
fn_listextendedproperty
as soon as I hit space, regardless of the CASE setting in SQL Prompt's options. Obvious, a capitalized FN_LISTEXTENDEDPROPERTY does not work: the function is case-sensitive.
There does not appear to be a way around this, not even by setting Format -> Styles -> Case -> Buit-in functions to "Leave as is". That only resolves the problem for the manual formatter:…
