Check if your *.tex file is recognized as a context file and not a plaintex file. I’ve struggelled a lot with macvim before I got what I want. I recommend following places learning everything in vim and many nice plugins that helps a lot. If you want I can provide my .vimrc as an inspiration and starting point. Se below. https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Vim https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Vim https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Mapping_keys_in_Vim_-_Tutorial_(Part_1) https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Mapping_keys_in_Vim_-_Tutorial_(Part_1) https://devhints.io/vim https://devhints.io/vim a cheatsheet In the MacVim application it took some time to figure out why my *.tex files never recognizes as context files and the hardcoded solution was to comment out the following in /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/runtime/filetype.vim " TeX "au BufNewFile,BufRead *.latex,*.sty,*.dtx,*.ltx,*.bbl setf tex "au BufNewFile,BufRead *.tex call dist#ft#FTtex() and instead adding " ConTeXt au BufNewFile,BufRead *.tex,*.ctx,*.mkii,*.mkiv,*.mkvi,*.mkxl,*.mklx setf context It works for Me who only using context as a typesetting engine. Normally you do not need to do this but it seems that my own filetype.vim on upstart never reads.

Here is my snippet from my personal context.vim file

I see that you have :! and that means that you instruct vim to execute a shell command.

Just write :ConTeXt<CR> and it should work fine

Dear John, Nicola,

I created a file context.vim under the folder ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/ which contains

map <C-h>><Esc> :w<CR>:!ConTeXt<CR> let g:context_mtxrun = 'PATH=$HOME/ConTeXtLM/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH mtxrun' let g:tex_flavor = "context"

The result is 1. using “:ConTeXt” issued an error message: “E492: not an editor command: ConTeXt 2. using “make” issued an error message: "No targets specified and no makefile found. …" Pressing C-h, compiling started and succesfully ended. However, it use /usr/local/texlive/… not LMTX tex folder.

Without context.vim, “:ConTeXt" and “:make" worked fine.

I’ll do more test.

Thank you. Best regards,

Dalyoung
