Hi,

I got help from the list, and in the end I did the following (I have ConTeXt installed in $HOME/ConTeXt-lmtx/). I hope it is complete.

ln -s $HOME/ConTeXt-lmtx/tex/texmf-context/context/data/vscode/extensions/context $HOME/.vscode/extensions/

Then I added a task file (also essentially found here, I think):

%%% Begin of file $HOME/.config/Code/User/tasks.json { "name" : "context", "tasks" : [ { "label": "ConTeXt LuaMetaTeX", "type": "shell", "command": "export PATH=$HOME/ConTeXt-lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/:$PATH;mtxrun --autogenerate --script context '${file}'", "args": [], "options": { "cwd": "${fileDirname}" }, "group": { "kind": "build", "isDefault": true }, "problemMatcher": [] } ] } %%% End of file

Then, in the extension setting inside code, I had to enable the color scheme for context.

Then it works to compile with ctrl+shift+B.

PS I also have some add-on for LaTeX installed, and for that reason I have started to use the file extension .mkiv for ConTeXt. Then the add-ons don't clash.
