Thanks, I reinstalled a later version of Textadept. I notice that it now opens the pdf product but in Xreader, the default on my machine, and that's no real problem, but now that I have got it working I can experiment a bit. Interesting, though, that the changes I made at your suggestion in l-pdfview.lua are not effective (I would have expected it to be okular). But I guess there is no harm done.

Hmm. I'm not using evince (could, I suppose) but I see that in the file you mention there is already:
['okular'] = [[okular --unique "%filename%"]], and I have already adapted the init.lua file in /.texadept to use okular rather than sumatra, with textadept.run.compile_commands.tex = '/home/me/bin/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun --autogenerate --script context --autopdf=okular "%f"'
So, following your logic, I should then only need to add, further on, pdfview.method = "okular", which I have done, but still no joy.
In such a case, you only need to comment on the second option, i. e. Sumatra:
--The last one wins pdfview.method = "okular" --pdfview.method = "sumatra" -- faster and more complete
I haven't edited textadept settings btw, so it works for me with --autopdf alone.

Hi. Maybe there's an easier way to do it without changing any file or via mtxrun's command line, but the following is what I do:
In l-pdfview.lua (mkiv folder, lines from 38) PDF view options are available. I've added
['evince'] = [[evince "%filename%"]] -- My favorite viewer
And then, after pdfview.method assignments,
pdfview.method = "evince"
Now textadept opens the .tex file once compiled. I don't know if making the format again is mandatory, but it doesn't hurt, anyways. I hope this helps. Best regards,

The occasional response to a similar question can be found, e.g. on stackexchange, but none of the responses work for me.
Textadept is very fast at compiling (and does compile correctly). I can certainly open the pdf independently in various pdf viewers, but I cannot get Textadept to automatically open, say, Okular (installed on Linux Mint), at the end of the process.
The last part of the log reads:
mkiv lua stats > runtime: 0.640 seconds, 8 processed pages, 8 shipped pages, 12.492 pages/second mtx-context | pdfview methods: auto default okular pdfxcview sumatra, current method: okular (directives_pdfview_method) pdfview | command: okular --unique "test1.pdf" 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null & mtx-context | pdfview overhead: 0.001 seconds system | total runtime: 0.649 seconds of 0.701 seconds
> exit status: 0
Have tried setting up a custom text editor on okular with: /home/me/.textadept "%f" -e textadept.editing.goto_line(%l-1), as suggested by one response, but to no avail. Current version of ConTeXt is 2021.09.17 10:01
Anyone tried Textadept successfully and might have a suggestion?
