    Quick question. Is it possible to have Monodevelop open when you open Unity? I always have to click on a script then open it, etc. and was wondering if I can just have it open when Unity loads the project?

    You could maybe write an Editor extension to do it for you?

    Just create shortcut which will start both Unity and Monodevelop at the same time

    I don't know if that will get Unity to talk to MonoDevelop, so Unity might open its own second instance anyway.

    If you are on OSX, you might want to use an apple script like this:

    do shell script "open /Applications/Unity/Unity.app"
    do shell script "open /Applications/Unity/MonoDevelop.app"
