Dear ConTeXt users,
I'm wondering what kind of typesetting system / syntax highlighting / completion you're using. [...] Open to anything from vim/neovim to emacs or more exotic. Maybe it would be nice to show the config. (And yes I've seen the Wiki page https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Text_Editors but I've the feeling some content is outdated.)
Vim offers good support for ConTeXt and MetaPost out of the box (I maintain those filetypes). The Vim page in ConTeXt Garden is up to date, afaict, but of course it is always better to check Vim's help file for the most up-to-date information (`:help ft-context`). Syntax highlighting is based on files generated by mtxrun: the help file explains how to regenerating them if necessary, so you may stay in sync with your ConTeXt installation. Completion is kind of an orthogonal matter: there are quite a lot of plugins for Vim if the built-in methods do not satisfy you. Again, the wiki page has some suggestions (those may be a bit outdated, as new completion plugins pop up all the time). Fwiw, I use MUcomplete. Hope this helps! Nicola
