I've found in the manual how to produce ä, ö etc ... the german Umlaute. but I wasn't succesfull with the sharp s (ß) ... can anyone help?
If you use \language[de] (or deo=pre-spelling reform hyphenation) then you should be able to use "s, "z, "S, "Z. The first produce a ß, the latter a SS or SZ. "s means SS and "z SZ if you make capital letters. (This is the same as \LATEX's \usepackage{german}.) Using the correct input encoding (such as \enableregime[windows]) you can directly enter "ß". If you for some reason don't want to use the \language[de], you may use \SS{} (\ss has been used for sans-serif, so this is unfortunally different to LaTeX and plain TeX.
Second ... I am also using gvim as an editor; is there a package supporting ConTeXt with gvim? I thought I saw it mentioned on the list, but I cannot find it in the archive.
