Indicate that autocompletion is somewhat supported in MD/XS

MonoDevelop

MonoDevelop is the IDE for the Xamarin Mono project. It was initially created as a fork of #develop.

It has its own site at  http://www.monodevelop.com/

We have an add-in to provide Cobra support including syntax highlighting, compilation, interactive debugging, and some support for code completion:

In February 2013, Xamarin announced a rebranded version of MonoDevelop named Xamarin Studio for Windows and Mac. The same Cobra addin for MonoDevelop will work in Xamarin Studio.

Windows Users

If you are running 64-bit Windows, you'll need to install Cobra targeting the x86 platform. See the addin installation instructions for details.

Mac Users

Support for installation of the addin on Mac was recently broken. Please help contribute by fixing the installer to work on Mac with Xamarin Studio. See here  https://github.com/ramon-rocha/MonoDevelop.CobraBinding/issues/29 and here  https://github.com/ramon-rocha/MonoDevelop.CobraBinding/blob/master/install.cobra#L268

Ubuntu Users

There are no packages for MonoDevelop 4.0 at this time. You'll need to build from source. If you are not comfortable building from source, you can use a previous version of the addin that supports your version of MonoDevelop. No bug fixes will be made for these old branches though and code completion only works when using MonoDevelop 4.0.

If you're on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and using MonoDevelop 2.8, you can update to MonoDevelop 3.0 via this PPA if you choose to do so:
