Better visual cue for when "Enable Load" deselected
could do with a bigger visual cue is "Enable Load". If you deselect "Enable Load" in PowerQuery, the query names get italicized. But with lots of queries, it is more effort to visually parse this quite subtle cue (italics vs non italics) when looking at a large number of queries. Especially f...

Adjust Xpos, Y-pos, Height and Width right from the ribbon formatting pane
It would be real handy if we could adjust X pos, Y pos, height, and width right from the ribbon as per this Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/InsightsMachine/status/1235700978613014529 (This would be better than what PowerPoint and Excel give - they don't allow you to adjust X pos and Y pos...
Warn me when my M/PowerQuery code references fields that don't exist.
Is there any reason why #PowerQuery couldn't warn you if you've misspelled [Some_Colum] like it does if you mistype #"Some Stepp"? When refactoring in #PowerBI and #Excel I sometimes replace source queries, then spend ages hunting down field names that don't match.

View (and possibly even edit) Measure code when hovering over them in the Values well
Wouldn't it be cool if you could see *and possibly even amend* a Measure simply by hovering or right-clicking over a measure used in a Values well in a visual. Why, this would save you having to go hunt for it in the Fields pane!

The default colour when the drill-through preview button in NOT activated is grey. Please provide the option to change this colour and also allow 100% transparency.
Let me use space (empty string) in column headers
Sometimes I need to pad out chart titles or column headers with a space or 10, and sometimes I don't want a column header at all at the top of a particular column e.g. when I am using the Bar Only option in databars to create databars that don't obscure text.
Dismiss tooltips by pushing ESC
Tooltips should be dismissable by the user in the event that they are blocking then view of the underlying visual...especially given report-page tooltips may get quite large. ESC would do nicely...although obviously the app would need to check if the dashboard is being displayed in fullscreen m...
