Hi, has anyone a working SyncTeX setup with ConTeXt LMTX for anything else than TeXshop?

With LaTeX, it works for me with Skim (+ Atom/Textadept/TeXworks) and TeXstudio. And in TeXshop we got our own parser. But can we expect others to adapt to our “superior” SyncTeX format? (I don’t understand the format yet and can’t tell what’s the difference.) There are two synctex formats, we support the second one (for as far as i can tell). There is no context synctex format (it's just less bloated and redundant than what an engine outputs). So, if an editor uses the

The nice thing about texshop is that it delegates interperting the synctex file to an external script (in this can mtx-synctex) which removed the dependency on a specific version of the library. After all, the editor (and viewer iif one goes two ways) only needs to know a position in the document of pdf. It's the macro package that needs to be in sync and this is one way to guarantee it. Another advantage is that we avoid the somewhat latex specific syntac parsing (probably making some assumptions about the way pages are constructed).
