Dear Alasdair McAndrew,

I am using vscode in iMac, so my setting may not work for you.

1. First, find files for vscode in your TeX folder.

In my case,

/ConTeXt-homefolder/tex/texmf-context/context/data/vacode/extensions/context/*.*

...

2. In a homefolder, there is a hidden folder “.vacode”.

Copy context/*.* to ./vscode/extensions/context/*.*

3. Open vscode and enable context-extension.

Since it was long time ago, my memory may not be correct. However, I hope that it may give you an idea.

It might make sense to not copy the files but symlink the folder (then it automatically receives updates). i.e. ln -s $TEXROOT/texmf-context/context/data/vacode/extensions/context ~/.vscode/extensions/

Don’t know how symlinking in Windows works, though.

Hi! To make a symlink worked well here, in the sense that I got a context extension in vs code, and when opening a context file it was recognized as such. I could go into the extension settings and enable color syntax. Questions: 1) Is there a way to get autocompletion on all context commands (not only the ones I have in the document)? If so, how? 2) Is there a nice way to compile the tex file from within vs code? As of now, I opened a terminal and compiled from that, but that feels like the wrong way of doing it. I'm on linux and with the latest standalone (lmtx if that matters). /Mikael
