I have a problem. At the time of writing the code in Xamarin Studio when I put the bracket it's only put open, but I would like to put both an open and a closed set. How would I do it?
I would suggest, you use the best and powerful ide from Microsoft,
Visual Studio https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/
Just click the Mobile .Net Development upon installation and you'll have Visual Studio with Xamarin. :)

I'm quite new to Programming in general. I've learned basics, but that's about all. I was watching a tutorial, but I realized I was using Visual Studio Code instead of Visual Studio. While I was trying to change my External Script Editor, I could not find Visual Studio. I also cannot find it on my PC.
External Script Editor:
No question is a dumb question so don't apologize for asking even if it is a basic thing.
Now to answer your question, please open the Visual Studio Installer and select modify.
After doing this in the gaming section and then select Game Development with Unity and modify your installation. Then restart Unity and try selecting Visual Studio from Unity.
After I installed the Xamarin tools from this link: https://www.xamarin.com/vs-download?utm_source=visualstudio&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=download&utm_campaign=installer
My Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition is not attaching to My Unity Editor (x64, v5.3.5). It simply builds the project, which it's not supposed to do, Should be going through UnityEditor and attaching to it.
Visual Studio has no problems finding the Editor, as I can see the Unity instance from my "Attach to Unity" combobox.
I had no previous problems attaching my debugger before the Xamarin install.
I'm having this problem too, as well as others. At the moment the only solution is to deinstall Xamarin.
I did file a bug to the Visual Studio and Xamarin team:
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=42023
Here's another question, covering the same topic.
Visual Studio Debugger not attaching to Unity
I am investigating xamarin forms for windows phone development and I'm trying to work with an example project from the following book:

I got it to compile fine on the local machine, so far so good. When I try to open the xaml file for the app layout in the visual editor I get the following message:
I'm using visual studio community edition 2015
My question is: is there a visual editor for xaml I can use and how can I acquire it?
No, there is not. Xamarin might be working on it for a long while but they never clearly announce such a plan.
Microsoft instead offers IntelliSense if you are editing Xamarin.Forms XAML in the code editor as it once announced.
i've created binding for Visual Studio's Edit.BriefBookmarkDropx commands:
Edit.BriefBookmarkDrop1: Ctrl+Shift+1
Edit.BriefBookmarkDrop2: Ctrl+Shift+2
Edit.BriefBookmarkDrop3: Ctrl+Shift+3
...
Edit.BriefBookmarkDrop9: Ctrl+Shift+9
Using Tools -> Options -> Keyboard:
Except that when i hit Ctrl+Shift+2, nothing happens:
i know Microsoft likes to obfuscate Visual Studio features. What's the secret trick that i'm missing?
Note: i am installed DPack into Visual Studio Professional - an addon that provides brief bookmarks (and a number of other essential features). Do not confuse this for an answer to my question:
you cannot install addons into Visual Studio Express
you cannot install addons into the Visual Studio Shell
my question isn't about addons

It took four years, but i figured it out. Everything i was doing was correct. The only issue is that Visual Studio is stupid. Here's how to configure Visual Studio to drop a Brief bookmark:
How's that different from what i showed in the question?
Fails Use new shortcut in: Global
Works Use new shortcut in: Text Editor
By default any keys you bind in the Global space do nothing.
Which begs the question why the option is there, and the default? But usability is not something Visual Studio team prides itself on.
In Visual Studio 2010 you can drag tabs out to separate windows but you can not collect them together as additional tabbed elements. Is there a VS 2010 add-on to allow you to group your extra windows into tabs? It would be really nice to have a set of tabs on each of my monitors.
The best place to look is the Visual Studio Gallery for 2010 Extensions. If you are lucky someone else has already had the idea and created an extension (VSIX) for you.
Otherwise, why do you have a go at writing it yourself by grabbing a copy of the Visual Studio 2010 SDK and read the Getting Started Guide.
UPDATE: I just stumbled on this awesome Visual Studio Extension that may do want you are looking for: Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools.

Productivity Power Tools does it, and it's free. The feature is called Document Well.
