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.

DECIMAL default scale warning in Code Analysis
Would be great if SQL Prompt Code Analysis would give a warning on SQL Below:
SELECT CAST( 1.453 AS DECIMAL)
SELECT CONVERT(DECIMAL, 1.453 )3 votes -
EXEC sp without return (EXEC @Results = sp)
EXEC spwho2 without return (EXEC @Results = spwho2)
Give a warning when tsql or stored procedure has execute a stored procedure without a variable for an error to bubble up to.This is the proper way because ieven in a try catch the Exec sp_who2 won't give and error to stop the tsql from going on

Conditionally place ON keyword on new line if exceeds specified wrap margin
My default preference is to maintain the ON keyword without a new line. I would like to be able to CONDITIONALLY place the ON keyword on a new line if, and only if the ON keyword together with the associated ON condition exceed a configurable wrap threshold.
Example:
-- Yield this >>>>
SELECT *
FROM Person.Address
INNER JOIN Person.StateProvince
ON StateProvince.StateProvinceID=Address.StateProvinceID
-- >>>> instead ofSELECT *
FROM Person.Address
INNER JOIN Person.StateProvince ON StateProvince.StateProvinceID=Address.StateProvinceID
-- Assuming the JOIN clause exceeds the wrap length
-- <<<This is particularly useful if the "Place JOIN table on new line" is NOT selected…

Trimming trailing spaces in comments
It would be cool if SQL Prompt was able to remove trailing whitespaces/tabs not only for T-SQL, but also for comments.
It's not something crucial, but rather nice-to-have

Detect the database compatibility version
When using SQL server 2016 with a database that has it's compatibility level set to 2012, I'm still being offered auto complete options for 2016 features. e.g. string_split
SQL Prompt needs to detect the database compatibility level and adjust it's intellisense accordingly.

Outline for scripts
It would be very helpful if there was an outline for the script being edited. Say, a script has many "CREATE PROC"s. We could have a tree or a list or a drop-down, to view a list of CREATE PROCs and click to scroll to the section.
If a tree style is selected, this could be expanded into seconds inside each PROCs.

Bookmarks
Bookmarks is a feature of SSMS. But all my bookmarks are destroyed once the code is formatted. So, as SSMS' feature is not so good as I want I do suggest to implement this feature by RedGate.

End column guide lines
I think SSMSBoost has this feature: being able to add configurable guide lines to limit the query writing space to a specified number of characters/columns. This is very handy as I always want to keep my code narrow, within the 80-char limit. Currently, I have to install SSMSBoost for it... Could this please be added to SQL Prompt? This is probably a quick feature to implement and would be tremendously useful. Thanks.

Customizable Font Settings for SQL Prompt IntelliSense UI
I am writing to request a feature improvement regarding the accessibility and scaling of the SQL Prompt interface.
Currently, I utilize a 4K monitor setup at 100% display scaling to maximize screen real estate. While SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) allows for granular adjustment of environment and text fonts, the SQL Prompt IntelliSense pop-ups and suggestion boxes do not appear to inherit these settings or offer independent configuration.
On high-density displays at native scaling, the SQL Prompt UI text is significantly too small to read comfortably. I would like to suggest the implementation of:

Search for column in result
I would LOVE! the ability to have a search window with my results from a query, where I type in any part of a column name and it lists all columns containing value I typed in.
By default one is positioned on the applicable column in the result (scrolling if necessary in wider result set), but if one clicks on any column matching value then it positions one on that column in the result.2 votes -
SQL History - Recent query list filenames - increase number of characters displayed before truncation
This is a minor inconvenience, but one with multiple potentially easy solutions. When using SQL History, I find that the "Recent queries" filenames become truncated very early due to the large font size and having only a single row of text used for displaying them. There is also a chunk of free space / padding to the right side that seems to be wasted (see orange arrow in my 2nd screenshot).
Given the naming convention that I tend to use with my saved scripts ("date - internal ticket # - brief script description/purpose"), I often only see the date and…

Add Connection color to Object Explorer
Dealing with multiple servers via the connection coloring is great, but looking at the object explorer while you are drilled down into things often has me scrolling to figure out what server I'm really looking at. Could we get a color bar in the object explorer that would simply have the color designated for the server.
It would make it easier to tell what environment I'm looking at.

Add a “Save Results As” Excel option
This is needed because I am required to run SSMS with elevated rights.
My regular Windows login doesn't have access to my database servers, and my elevated account doesn't have access to my MS 365 office suite.
Because of this, the "Open in Excel" feature is not useable.

frequently use the ScriptObjectAsAlter shortcut in Visual Studio to modify views and procedures. However, when the script opens, it defaults to ALTER VIEW or ALTER PROC, while our source control requires everything to be saved as CREATE OR ALTER.
Would it be possible to introduce an option in SQL Prompt to default these scripts to CREATE OR ALTER instead of just ALTER? This would streamline the process and reduce manual edits before committing changes.

Generate script for Table Types
When hovering over a Table Type the pop-up window only shows tabs for Summary and Dependencies. Add a Script tab for consistent functionality when compared to other types of object such as Stored Procedures, Tables, Views, Functions etc.

Option to display values within IN statements without spaces between them
Another white space removal feature to suggest.
The ability to format all IN statements as:
empType IN ('a','b','c','d')Rather than the default:
empType IN ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')I have done some exploring in the formatting styles and scouring the forums here and this feature doesn't seem to be available.
