Hi Jaroslav, Notepad++ also supports TeX out the box, but I don't know if it can be configured to provide autocompletion and which Run Commands I need to create (and how). SciTE and Notepad++ shares the same base (Scintilla), but Notepad++ is far more polished. Regards, Luiz Borges 2012/4/17 Jaroslav Hajtmar :

Hi Luiz I recommend PSPad (http://www.pspad.com/en/) Try it. I can not say that directly support ConTeXt, but TeX quite understand. SciTE seems flawless, but I'm so used to PSPad that I can leave it :-).

Can anybody tell me how to correctly configure Notepad++ to use ConTeXt? I'm just starting with ConTeXt (and Tex BTW) and Scite seems to be too unpolished. One advantage that I can see of Scite over Notepad++ is that it has some autocompletion, besides that I think the interface and its "tools" are terrible.

Also, is there anyother noteworthy editor that works nicely with standalone context? Preferably with spell-check and auto-completion.

Hello Hans, There is a page on the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Notepad%2B%2B) but it was modified 3 years ago and targets a 2007 version of Notepad++ (4.2). Luiz Borges 2012/4/17 Hans Hagen :

Idris is the notepad ++ expert (isn't there a wiki page on it?) One problem I have with notepad ++ is that it's not cross platform while scite runs on win and lin (and on osx but there it somehow lacks lpeg lexer support).

I'm happy to help you with N++. Even last week I searched to see if something better came along, but nothing yet ... I've implemented some more (experimental) context features to make n++ even more useful, like right-click tagging of commonly used commands etc. Everything else you mentioned is already there. Right now I'm at work but write me privately and let's chat tomorrow if you are available. WRT Hans' important point: N++ has global bidi support, and is much more configurable by non-developers like myself. I simply have not found anything x-platform that comes close. OTOH, I tried to keep most of the ConTeXt shortcuts the same as Hans' Scite configuration. so users can jump from one to the other with ease.
