    Add better static analysis, IntelliSense, and general formatting abilities (like allowing tabs) in the "Advanced" editor

    RE: Improve the Advanced Query Editor

    I second every comment above and want to add a request for better highlighting and selection with a mouse.
    Who designed that feature. It feels like it is designed to specificly frustrate me when I am attempting to copy and paste any code. How did you make it so good at preventing me from selecting what I actually want???

    Otherwise it is hard to read and write there.

    RE: Improve the Advanced Query Editor

    I can but join the clamour asking for an improved editor. Given that languages such as Python have managed to be integrated with Visual Studio, bringing all the benefits such as support for intellisense, could that not be the fist step?

    We would then use this "advanced" editor [which it isn't] merely as the means of pasting code developed elsewhere, which we all do now but using VS rather than Notepad++ which seems to be the frontrunner at present.

    The long-term aim has to be intellisense etc native to the product but VS integration would be a good first step along that road
