Well, im MD you need to press Ctrl-Space to get the Code Completion
popup, but...

... currently the popup comes but in many cases, like this one, the
filtering gets the list wrong :(

AFAIK, this kind of lookup isn't implemented yet in MD,

Yes, but not yet done. Volunteering?

As I can remember some talk about possible implementations took place
some time ago, but the biggest question was if we should wait for some
support for it in the underlying native GTK widget for the editor
(probably achieving the best performance, but also building a strong
dependency hell) , trying to superimpose some managed implementation
of it on the widget wrapper (perhaps not feasible), or reimplementing
the editor as a fully (or nearly) managed widget (lots of work and
some performance BIG unknowns). No decision taken so far, AFAIK.

As I'm currently working a lot with Java and even fixing Java VMs
(JamVM/Kaffe) and GNU Classpath code, I think I may partly borrow the
title (Javaman) from my friend Bruno Souza and become the
MonoNJavaMan. Yeah, I may currently be crazier than usual...
