MongoDB for VS Code
MongoDB for VS Code lets you easily work with MongoDB directly from your VS Code environment. Using the MongoDB extension, you can:
- Connect to a MongoDB instance or cluster
- Navigate your databases and collections
- Prototype queries and aggregations
You can install the MongoDB extension from inside of VS Code via the VS Code Extension Marketplace. Help us improve the MongoDB for VS Code by posting your ideas and suggestions for improvements.

Connection & DB colors
please add connection and database coloring which applies to explore list, opened tabs and playground files. Intellij and Navicat both support this feature which prevents any confusion about test and deployment server.

Intellisense for playground code
Hovering over getCollection and other supported methods doesn't show any intellisense. This would save us time from having to go to the docs and looking that method up. Also the sort method which I think its a normal JavaScript method doesn't show intellisense inside playground so please add some intellisense.

Use Ctr-Enter to execute instuction where the cursor is.
Currently, is kind of tedius to execute a targeted line. Other editors accept Ctl-Enter to execute the line, which is very convenient.

Show UUID fields as UUID in document editor
I have a collection with documents containing UUID fields (standard, not legacy). When I browse those documents in the extension, they are shown like this:
{
"id": "5e58eae46015f74c61dd6af0",
"myuuid": {
"$binary": {
"base64": "ILGr2eKZSmqkQX1OZsoICQ==",
"subType": "04"
}
}
}I would have expected them to be shown as:
{
"id": "5e58eae46015f74c61dd6af0",
"myuuid": UUID("20b1abd9-e299-4a6a-a441-7d4e66ca0809")
}Robot 3T (for example) does this well. I think it would greatly help to read such values.

"Table View" of Documents
As some others tools have, a way to view all documents from a collection in a table format with columns and lines. An 'click on header for sort' is well desirable.

We do not have to repeat use('db') every time
After executing use('db') we don't need to include the command with each run, especially when we want to run the selected line.
At present, if I run some selected lines to run from play ground it doesn't works if the lines doesn't includes the use('db') command.

Connection based "theming"
Add the ability to color code playground tab and/or editor's background color in the playground based on the connection that is active.
Eg: default background for my localhost connection and a more colorful one for staging environment or production ones even.

Set a default connection or auto detect a running MongoDB session
Automatically set up a connection via the MongoDB Extension instead of pasting the connection string manually every time.
Either by
1. detecting a running mongo session
2. Loading default connections, from a place on the system2 votes -
Better Failed to Connect Error Message
Currently, I get Failed to connect: connection <monitor> to X.Y.Z.W:27017 closed. It would be helpful to tell the user why that is or give a hint as to why the problem occurred. I have to keep it in the back of my mind that most of the time the issue is because my IP changed and my atlas doesn't have my ip whitelisted.

Improvements to Terminal Shell (split)
It would be nice that When the VSC extension is added, it creates an entry in the integrated terminal settings (terminal.integrated.automated.windows/mac) like: -
"MongoDB": {
"path": "mongo",
"args": ["$Env:MDBCONNECTIONSTRING"]
}Which I can't currently get to work.
So that when I split a currently connected MongoDB intergrated terminal session, it spawns another mongo session with the same connection parameters at the same level.
Also at the moment $Env:MDBCONNECTIONSTRING only seems to be set when the MongoDB:Launch MongoDB Shell is run, not when a connection is made to the a MongoDB server (connections).
At the moment, if…

Linting/Validation support for query language
It would be nice if MongoDB for VS Code had a built-in functionality to verify query syntax, best practices, etc.
Conceptually, this would work similarly to how ESLINT works for JavaScript.

Specify default database in Advanced Connection Settings form
The Create New Connection using the Advanced Connection Settings form does not provide a place to specify a default database. I'm specifically interested in this so I like running selected lines and it'd be a way to not include 'use(<db>)' with every query.

New Playground Result tab for each query
When two playgrounds are run at once (e.g. two aggregations), the result of one overwrites the result of the other rather than opening a new 'Playground Result' tab.
The desired behaviour is for a new Playground Result tab to be opened per run (preferably numbered 'Playground Result 1', 'Playground Result 2', etc.

Open documents in the same tab
Every time I want to check a doc, It opens it in a new tab Which makes it difficult to navigate across the workspace. I would recommend open docs in the same tab and maybe device some mechanism to open the docs in a new tab if the user wants to compare two or more of them.

Handle 64bit numbers correctly
Javascript doesn't support 64bit internally, so if I try in Chrome/console: x = 285870311191169181, it becomes 285870311191169180, and the same thing happens in VS Code.
The solution would be to return a NumberLong("285870311191169181") text result.
In fact, it seems to be an issue in Compass as well... but it works in mongo shell.
