If you have a string stored across a bunch of D's, V's, etc., I'd like a way to show the entire string in a single display vs at most four characters per element.
Also line wrapping for Data View display of long native strings.
Also, it's nice to be able to display a 32-bit value as an IP address, but I can't enter an IP address in the edit column and write to the register

It isn't what you are asking for, but you can get close through memory view. Set to large number of columns, change format to ASCII.

Yep, that's what I've been doing. Actually pretty close to what I'd like. More like, if you're tweaking Data View for those other things, I'd like this too.

I too would like to see IP addresses being "editable" in native IP address format, when selected. That would beet having to do D0:UB3, D0:UB2, etc (in reverse order, so Ctrl+Enter doesn't help auto populate next row).
Also, I wish the Data View would act a little more like most text entries on Windows PC's. When working with Edit values, for example, I can use Shift+Arrow, Shift+Home, but I can't use Ctrl+Arrow, Ctrl+Shift+Arrow (this actually causes wires to be drawn in the Program, and pressing Esc doesn't exit the Edit Mode, it simply exits the Edit field). I can't use Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, amd Ctrl+A causes it to select in the Program pane. I can't double click on word/value to select, etc.
I would also like to be able to copy a value to clipboard from the Status column, or a keyboard shortcut to copy Status to Edit (without the popup that I can't fully read), just to make data entry, tweaking, debugging easier.
Much of this applies to string heavy applications (for example, have a 100+ character string of email addresses in a Data View, can't hardly read it all but to right click, Copy Status to Edit, Copy Only Current, double click to select, right click to Copy, Paste to text editor, add/remove an email address as needed, Copy it back to clipboard, back to DmD, have to select the Edit field contents again (it lost focus, and double click won't work in the focused Edit, Ctrl+A don't work here, have to do Home, Shift+End, (optional Delete)), then right click, Paste, then Write Current Edit.
While I'm whining, can we also have a keyboard shortcut to Write Current Edit in Data View?

Shift-F9

Whoo-hoo!

Writes the program too. It's the only way I roll.

This is weird, I don't seem to be able to paste from the clipboard to the edit column of a Data View (for a string address)
Also, would it be feasible to be able to enter a string literal as the data value for a DEVWRITE?

Not even by clicking to move the focus to the Edit field, right click, Paste?
I also wish there was an easier way to clear a string from Data View than changing it to Quoted layout, then clearing contents, and writing the Edit.

No, that works, just didn't know to try it. Was expecting Ctrl-V to work once in edit mode. This is a bit more circuitous, but workable.
