Add "Clean install" option during installation
Add "Clean install" checkbox with appropriate warnings and option to back up styles and tab history where the user can specify and/or change the suggested backup location by default. Offer an easy option (inside menu?) to restore from the backup once installed. Take a look at Visual Studio editor options can be exported (backed up to a file) and subsequently restored later.
Also, take a look at nVidia, AMD Radeon (formerly ATI) and perhaps Intel network card driver installers as an example for "clean install".

Correctly bracket Windows users/groups when using CTRL+B,CTRL+B
When adding brackets via CTRL+B,CTRL+B, Windows-based principals (users, groups, etc.) are not correctly bracketed. The brackets are placed around the domain or computer name portion of the principal, instead of the combination of the domain/computer and user/group name.
For example, if this statement is entered
ALTER SERVER ROLE sysadmin ADD MEMBER MYDOMAIN\USER
using CTRL+B,CTRL+B will yield this:
ALTER SERVER ROLE [sysadmin] ADD MEMBER [MYDOMAIN]\USER
instead of the correct syntax:
ALTER SERVER ROLE [sysadmin] ADD MEMBER [MYDOMAIN\USER]
Would also be helpful if principals from NT AUTHORITY and NT SERVICE could be correctly handled.

Switch between Alias formats AS/=
A formatting feature to change syntax between these two forms
SELECT field1 AS Alias1, field2 AS Alias2 FROM table1
SELECT Alias1 = field1, Alias2 = field2 FROM table1
Ideally useable without having to invoke the "Format SQL" command.
Hopefully selectable as an enabled option within a Format SQL style set.I spend a non-trivial amount of time reformatting SQL code for leading/trailing comma placement and alias AS/= placement, this would be a HUGE help

Option to prevent removal of brackets on database and server names
Removing brackets from database names causes VS schema compare to indicate file differences because VS requires database reference variables to be enclosed in brackets. Need an option to exclude removal of brackets from database and server in three and four part names.

Debugger for SQL Code
After removing of SQL Code debugging features beginning with Management Studio 18, it would be quite welcome to have this feature in SQLPrompt.
Other competitors are already providing debugging.9 votes -
Option to align AND conditions with ON clause
Would love to have the option to have all conditions (AND / OR) aligned (or same indentation) with the ON clause, for example:
FROM dbo.orders AS o
JOIN dbo.orderAttributes AS oa
~~ON oa.companyID = o.companyID
~~AND oa.orderID = o.orderID5 votes -
Indent FROM clause
Allow the FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, etc. clauses to indent from the select.

export to excel bug(?) -- Acts odd if multiple result sets
Before I upgraded to latest version of SQL Prompt, if I had two queries in the same "New Query" window and ran them, I could select either of the two result sets and choose "Open in Excel" to open up the selected result set in Excel. Now it always seems to auto-select the first result set.
What I'm usually doing here is two related queries. I pick the larger result set, open that in Excel, and then add a new tab to Excel and copy-and-paste the smaller result set to the 2nd tab. Or sometimes I'm doing multiple queries to…

Secure tab history
Either detect and scrub passwords from tab history, or store the history files securely so they can't be copied by backup software and viewed as plain text on the drive without a password.

Add 'Reconnect All tabs' button
Great improvement (at least for me, but I doubt I am alone with this issue) to connect all tabs on opening SSMS would be to enable to invoke this on click/keyboard shortcut.
I am working through VPN and every disconnect means I have to close and re-open the app, losing pinned tab status and tab ordering.4 votes -
Add Per Database table/view alias mapping dictionary for use with Qualify object names
It would be nice to have a setting per database in SQL Prompt that would allow us to set an alias to tablename mapping and these settings can be shared / stored in source control for other developers.
When we run the qualify object name operation it could look at this dictionary and automatically inject an new alias for an old alias or table/view with no alias.
This allows us to have consistently alias'd tables across all sql objects in source control.

restore from url breaks SQL formatter
The below script causes SQL Formatter rules to fail with the error "Script parsing error(s) ... Incorrect syntax near url. ... Failed refactorings: Insert semicolons (Script parsing errors)"
create database foo; go backup database foo to url = N'https://foocorp.blob.core.windows.net/backups/foo/foo_1.bak'; go restore database foo from url = N'https://foocorp.blob.core.windows.net/backups/foo/foo_1.bak'; goSSMS Parse (
ctrl+F5) reveals that this snippet parses correctly. When replaced with a valid URL target, this syntax also executes without error.Please update the semicolon rule and any other necessary rules to handle for backup/restore from URL as a valid formattable syntax.

Have formatting features for cross join match those of left/right/inner join
I have set up rules to format as such:
Select *
From Employees e Join
People p On e.PersonID = p.PersonID;Each table/view object aligned on a new line. However, when I convert to a "cross join", they don't generate a new line, they concatenate on the same line, like such:

Compare the output and speed of two stored procedures
Add a new window that compares the output (and speed) of two stored procedures using the same parameters (ignoring parameters that are missing on either side).
When fixing performance problems or adding new parameters to existing stored procedures, we often need to rewrite large portions.
After successfully speeding it up, we need to test if the results are still correct.
One way to do this is to compare the output of the new procedure with the output of the old one using different parameters. This involves storing results in temp tables, sorting them, output to a text file and using…2 votes -
Generate C#/VB.NET class

Possibility to search for multiple keywords
It would be nice to search for multiple keywords in the Tab History. For example, I know I had a script to insert data from TableA to TableB, but I searching for TableA or TableB yields to much result (both are frequently use tables). Searching for "TableA, TableB" or "TableA*TableB" would be a good quality of life feature.
