For LaTex there exists a tool, named "latexmk", which allows a "preview continuous mode", that is to update the compiled pdf automatically. It is really very helpful!
Because it is open-source: It is possible to addapt this tool for context, too? Maybe one of the programmers have time for this ... :)
I use the perl program `atchange`[1] for continous preview. For simple documents, you can just run
atchange filename.tex "context --batch filename"
For more complicated documents (depending on multiple files and figures), you can create a automate file (see [1] for description) and run
atchange automate

If you use the editor texworks you can maintain two side by side windows, one for editing and one for viewing. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
