I want to export data of recycle bin by dataloader.
XSL:FO support for Visualforce PDF generation
Visualforce PDF support is fantastic but using HTML to generate a printed page is less than ideal.
Adding xsl:fo support would allow for headers, footers, page numbering etc on generated pdfs, and is designed for generating printed content as distinct from html which is designed for on-screen content.
IDE: Keyboard Shortcut to Run Tests
When developing, I typically run tests and get failure, then write some code and re-run the tests. This is repeated many times.
Ctrl+S is nice for saving files, and I would like a keyboard shortcut to re-run the tests currently in the Apex Test Runner.

IDE: Line Numbers on test results
Test results in the IDE can quickly become thousands of lines long when we are debugging. Please add line numbers to the test log viewer to make review easier.

IDE: Autocomplete for Apex and Visualforce code
Please add type-ahead code complete for Apex and Visualforce to the IDE editors.
Also please create simple macros for creating setters and getters for variables. We all write that one line of code 10 times a day--make it easier to do by making sure the built in Eclipse code macro generators work with the Force.com editors.

IDE: Enable real-time collaboration with ECF
Eclipse Communication Framework allows for collaborative coding via instant message and other protocols. One nice feature is real-time co-editing of code through Coda. Please make the Force.com IDE function with these Eclipse tools.

IDE: Show Problem count more visibly
If you have a save problem in the Force.com IDE, it will put an error in the problem view. This can easily be missed. It would be nice to have problems jump out at you a bit better, perhaps showing the current problem count in the main toolbar.

IDE: Full text search on test results log
Please make the test results searchable in the Force.com IDE. I have to copy the results out to a text editor and then search them there.

"Print Schema" and/or "Dump Schema" to document custom schema
Hi,
This idea/need is similar to "Ability to Download SF Object Schema and ERD", but the focus is on documentation, rather than database re-creation.
I need a quick way to document our customized SFDC schema. The ideal thing would be a "print schema" selection somewhere on or under the "setup" screen. Direct and PDF options would be great.
It would be nice to be able to dump to a csv as well ("Dump Schema?"), just the schema info with no data. But just printing to a PDF would be fine for now.
Thanks!
-- David.

for Administrators: Custom Fields in an enhanced list
I'd like to suggest the following:
When working on multiple custom fields:
1. Remove the underline on a fields label, as it somtimes hides the '_' (Underscore).
2. Allow for the field name (rather than label) to appear in the custom fields list.
3. Allow for a smart (enhanced) list in the Custom Fields list. (this will allow me to sort by name or label).
4. Allow for Field Labels, or "categories". these labels would be used just for Administrators to help clarify the need for each field. I suggest these values should be defaulted to the same values as the section in which these fields are assigned (and vice versa).
Winter_09_Known_Issues
For any release (for any software) there are known bugs.
I want to be able to go to trust.salesforce.com/Winter_09_Known_Issues (or someplace, it doesn't have to be trust)
and be able to search through known bugs.
I don't want or need access to a complete bug database, etc. I just want to be able to search so that when I come across some bizarre behavior (like the thread below demonstrates) I don't have to beat my head against a wall when somebody else already has the bruises.
http://community.salesforce.com/sforce/board/message?board.id=Visualforce&thr...
Specifically, I'm more concerned with programming bugs in VisualForce, Apex, etc. as opposed to weird application behaviors.

Developer Directed Dreamforce Sessions
Allow the community to determine the content for one or more sessions at Dreamforce. In an effort to make the most out of Dreamforce, it would be great to have Developers of the platform, whether they plan on attending Dreamforce or actually will attend Dreamforce, weigh in on what topics to cover in the Developer Tracks.
There are many more topics available now than in previous years and only a finite time available at the conference. To provide the maximum value to attendees, it would be great to allow the attendees to determine what it is they are most interested in, struggling the most with or need more inspiration or information about.
