Hello,
I too use vscode as my editor, and recently wanted to use it for ConTeXt as well.
Patrick Gundlach created a tmLanguage file for ConTeXt: https://github.com/pgundlach/context.tmbundle/blob/master/Syntaxes/ConTeXt.t...
I just finished packaging and publishing said file in a vscode extension.
You can find it on GitHub: https://github.com/JulianGmp/vscode-context-syntax
Or on the vscode marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JulianGmp.context-syntax
As the name suggests, the extension only provides syntax highlighting. I might add snippets or build macros in the future, though I would probably implement these things in a seperate extension.
Also, if you want to build the document with a keybinding, you could define a build task in your tasks.json: https://gist.github.com/JulianGmp/a2b38212878c23d71de3d977214f2bf7 The problem is not to have key bindings (I can do that) but to have different ones per filetype (i want to run lua files with mtxrun --script for instance) and also because there can be multiple nindings
I wrote (reasonable advanced) lexers for all the languages that matter for context (tex, mp, lua, etc), also with support for embedded lexing as well as highlighting of categories of keywords (updates when new betas are pushed). These lexers are mostly compatible with my reference lexers for scite. So that should work anyway. They are poart of the distribution and activated when one starts vscode from the command line with the right switches or when one puts thexe lexers someplace known. So, I didn't make some 'installable package' (also because i actually want to use a different color scheme and less clutter in the editor) so the idea is to have a independent start up without interference with an existing install. But it works ok here (apart from adbaced suffix based runners, but i can run tex; ok, i could make mtxrun more clever and cheat but it would be a hack). (The problem that I have with editors is that they keep adding stuff and become more complex over time while in practice I only need avery few features.) per suffix. As far as I can see this is not yet possible (when i looked into it and searched abit i got the impression that this was a general known shortcoming but also that it was on some agenda to deal with it) and I don't want to ship/maintain a lot of fragile/moving target javascript (and node js) code. Anyway, the files are in the distribuition to play with. And occasionally I see when it becomes more useable for me. It's currently mostly a fallback for when scite stops working (unfortunately the lua lexer support is is not build into scite and the (small) lib is unmaintained ... ok, i could do that when needed).
