Hi,

I asked to discuss or have some suggestions about installing and using Scite for ConTeXt.

If it is possible OK, but it is not urgent.

To give some background: I use Windows 10 and lmtx (in its own folder). I installed Scite in c:\wscite and copied there the scite\context folder; I added the folder to the PATH.

If I comment the line (import context/scite-context-user) at the end of SciteGlobalproperties I can load .lua, .tex, .py files and I get the colours highlighting.

But if I uncomment: first I have Scite opening full screen, which is annoying, and the colour highlighting for .lua, and .tex disappears, but I have the context/scite.xxx.properties listed in Options!!!

And I still need to configure to be able to compile and... Did you use the cont-sci-zip file from thre website? There are two files in the binary subpath there. It's just scite but with two patches (1)

So, we're using standard built in methods (which is more reliable) combined with lpeg lexers (which sort of reverted back to what a had in context already before we had them for scite). The properties etc files are for those binaries. This also permits some future additions (one thing already in place is autocompletion of commands). The lexers that currently ship with context assume these binaries being used. I know that there are still some issues. There is some tricky synchronization involved which I will sort out in due time (it has to do with some to-be-reliable optimizations for huge files); afer all I use scite myself so it better work ok. If you don't see colors, you can always select language from teh pull down menu to have a lexing run.
