How to get MonoDevelop to suggest code on Mac, Unity 5.5

I am using a Mac and MonoDevelop for Unity and in a tutorial I was watching, I saw that they were getting a list of suggestions on code completion and it seemed to be very helpful but I didn't have this feature.

I tried turning "Show completion list after character is typed" on but this didn't do anything. I've looked at questions about it not autocompleting and I tried solutions but couldn't find any of the folders that the answer was talking about on my Mac.

The suggestion of code seems very helpful, especially to a beginner like myself, and I was wondering if anyone has a solution to this.

I'm not sure if this is specifically answering your question, but usually a list of suggestions come up when you place a period (.) after an object/variable.

For instance, if you had something like:

public GameObject aGameObject;

By typing " aGameObject. " You would get something that looks like this: alt text

This is what doesn't happen but what I think should happen

an alternative method is, start typing and hit cmd space.
if none works mono probably forgot about it's linkage with unity. you can put that by selecting the "Open C# project" from unity Asset or edit menu, not sure right now
