Choose Default Date For Insert/Update Statements
When auto-expanding an insert or update statement by pressing the tab key, the column list provides default values for the columns. With DateTime and DateTime2 in particular, it would be helpful to configure if you want to use the UTC datetime or the current timezone. Our company exclusively stores datetimes in UTC, so to have this default this way would be extremely helpful!
CREATE TABLE #tmp (ID INT, CreatedDateUtc DATETIME2, Name NVARCHAR(50))
INSERT INTO #tmp (ID, CreatedDateUtc, Name)
VALUES (0, SYSDATETIME(), N''); -- allow this to populate as SYSUTCDATETIME() or GETUTCDATE(), depending on DATETIME2 vs DATETIME1 vote -
Copy as SQL values List
Would be great to be able to highlight multiple cells in the Results grid and then select "Copy as SQL values List". This would then create a single line, comma-separated list which could, for example, be pasted into a WHERE in () clause.
Functionality must be able to detect whether you're copying integer or character values etc. If copying character values, SQL Complete should automatically enclose each value with single quotes

Create an option just change casing
In SQL Complete, I would love an option that lets you Format Selection but only changes the casing to what you have specified in your active profile. It would leave all other formatting as is.

I always have to rename '[table]' to something meaningful to me.

Email notification when query completes
I previously used SSMSBoost. There was a feature, Query Post-Execution Handlers, that included Results per Email as an option. This feature leveraged PowerShell as the engine, perhaps because it was a Windows installation, and a "script generator" dialog box that converted selected options and variables into a PowerShell script and email message. I would have added a screen capture of this interface, but this post won't accept attachments. The feature also accepted a threshold so it would only apply to queries that exceed a specified number of seconds. It was nice to be able to set this up for long…

Change Connection on Multiple Tabs
I would like the ability to change the connection on multiple tabs in a single action. Currently, if I am testing in one environment with multiple tabs open, I need to change each connection individually. I would like a way to specify a new connection for multiple tabs.

Use object name as filename for "script object as"
When using the menu option "script object as..."
1) when creating the new file have the name of the object be the filename. That way it is much easier to find in the tabs of SSMS instead of just another SQLqueryxx.sql file. This would make it much easier to find it again after switching away from that document.2) have some option setup to make it always be a create and not an alter. When I use the command its so I can see what the object is, I don't want to accidentally modify it so create means sql server…

Keep the comments when formatting procedures!
Keep the comments when formatting procedures! IT can't be that all comments are removed by the formatting process! That happens to my code when I execute ALTER PROCEDURE!
OR: Give me the option to NOT format my code! I use the Express Version.1 vote -
Enable command execution in query result pane
I very often use T-SQL to create a series of T-SQL commands to be run.
I need to ctrl-C+open new window+ctrl-V+F5 to accomplish that, and it works.
However, a nice feature would be to just be able to select the commands in the query result window, and choose "execution" from the shortcut menu, and have SQL Complete do all the additional work automagically.2 votes -
Improve standard filtering in Object Explorer
The standard filtering in Management Studio Object Explorer is rudimentary at best. I lack the ability to select multiple values, and use drop downs to do so. Or even better, use complex queries (with and/or/not), and maybe even save and reuse these for daily administration (much like snippets).

region collapse auto
I would like the options to enable such a setting that when procedures, functions, etc. are opened for editing, all regions would automatically collapse. There could also be a keyboard shortcut that collapses and expands all regions

Saved Filters in SSMS
Within SSMS, allow for the saving of filters.
Justification:
Particularly within large databases, often there is a reoccurring need to work with just a subset of tables. Sometimes, within different contexts, the particular subset changes. Being able to easily apply commonly used filters can allow increased productivity by eliminating frictional work (e.g. scrolling and hunting). Additionally, when filters across object types can be applied, there can be a lot of power. For example, being able to filter a particular set of SQL Agent Jobs, associated tables, and procedures related to those jobs, allows a troubleshooting developer to quickly set into…4 votes -
More Intelligent Intellisense
While camel casing matching is extremely helpful, it breaks when adding middle characters to it, perhaps consider adding to it the same way Visual Studio does it, it’ll be much more helpful.
For example, consider I have a column "FinalSellingFee" and a column "FreeShippingFunction", when I enter "fsf", both appear, now I only want the second, in Visual Studio I'll simply enter "fsfu" (adding a "u" at the end), or "fshf" (adding an "h" after the "s"), and it'll automatically get that I want the second. It makes it so much easier and quicker.

Show Est. row count in Table Tooltip at the TOP to avoid truncation
When hovering over a table name in the editor, show the Est. row count at the "top" of the tooltip rather than at the bottom, currently the tip runs off screen on tables with many columns, causing it to be invisible

Persist column layout in Execution History
The execution history is a great feature. It can be made more using if SQL Complete was able to persist column changes (moves or exclusions). Currently, the end user is able to move the columns, for example, move the Server column to the left or right. The end user can also remove unwanted columns. However if you close SSMS and reopen, the columns are back to their original positions. This is not very user friendly as the purpose of a user changing the column layout is to have it displayed the way they want.

Installer - Allow option to keep edits I've made to default snippets
When installing an upgrade, my additions to the snippets manager are maintained. However, I would like the option to keep all edits I've made to the default set of snippets as well.

Add context menu item "Copy to new window" to Results window
I often use SQL to generate SQL commands based on information from sys tables. This enables me to keep things in sync.
Currently I need to Ctrl-C my selection, open a new tab, Ctrl-V in it, and then hit F5.
A context menu item, that does all this (except F5) would be a nice addition.1 vote -
Toggle Comments
New option to Toggle commenting/uncommenting on the current line selections as most other editors have. Map to CONTROL-/ by default to match the commenting behavior of other editors.
Why SSMS does not have this baked in is f'in ponderous.

Insert missing square brackets when formatting selection or whole script.
We have a policy of always putting square brackets around identifiers in SQL Scripts. When using SQL Complete we have the option turned on to always use square brackets and this works fine when scripting brackets are inserted for us just fine. However when we open a legacy script and format the document, missing square brackets are not inserted so we have to manually go through the script to add them.
If Always On is selected for square brackets then I press Ctrl+K Ctrl+D to format the document I would like to have missing square brackets inserted, that is all…
