remove mkii, small fixes
You can use the <code>--synctex</code> switch to enable SyncTeX. context --synctex <i>jobname</i> Alternatively you can add one of the following commands to your MkIV document:<texcode>\setupsynctex[state=start,method=min] % clickable words\setupsynctex[state=start,method=max] % more efficient clickable ranges</texcode> This will create a file <code><i>jobname</i>.synctex</code>. The command context --purgeor next run without <code>--synctex</code> will remove the file again. Some editors/viewers need a different format, that you can enable by <code>--synctex=repeat</code> resp. <code>\setupsynctex[state=repeat]</code>. To see what became clickable, use one of<texcode>\enabletrackers[system.synctex.visualize]\enabletrackers[system.synctex.visualize=real]</texcode> This file can be used by your editor and PDF viewer to display jump back and forth between the proper filesource and the PDF.

Works quite well, but needs “magic lines” like:
% !TEX TS-program = ConTeXt2023
% !TEX useAlternatePath
% !TEX useConTeXtSyncParser
Setup see [[TeXShop|extra page on TeXshop]].
=== TeXWorks ===
You may need to modify the command for executing ConTeXt first (you need to add <code>--synctex</code> switch in preferences).
=== Emacs + auctex === To implement forward search with auctex (i.e., open the viewer at the right page from emacs)creating a shell script called '''synctex''' in some directory which precedes one containingthe "usual" synctex (if any) in your $PATH with the following contents has been demonstratedto work on at least Slackware64 15.0: #! /bin/zsh # synctex replacement to allow forward search from emacs+auctex to (at least) evince # Emacs + auctex calls synctex up to three times. # For example, attempting to view the PDF of <FILE>.tex would cause # emacs to run the following commands ($PWD is the path to the # current directory): # synctex view -i <LINE>:<COL>:$PWD/./<FILE>.tex -o <FILE>.pdf # synctex view -i <LINE>:<COL>:<FILE>.tex -o <FILE>.pdf # synctex view -i <LINE>:<COL>:$PWD/<FILE>.tex -o <FILE>.pdf line_number=${3%%:*} tex_file=${3##*:} synctex_file=${tex_file%.tex}.synctex # Transmogrify the output format of mtxrun into something that emacs+auctex # (and maybe other editors?) recognizes: mtxrun --script synctex --find \ --file=$tex_file --line=$line_number $synctex_file \ | sed 's/.*page=/Page:/' (Note: this has only been tested with simple document structures.) === Evince, Okular & Kile ===Okular (the KDE PDF viewer) and Evince (the GNOME one) support SyncTeX (the latter since version 2.32.0). To forward something from a text editor to Okular, do okular --unique '${pdffile}#src:${linenumber} ${texfile}' Kile’s (the KDE TeX IDE’s) ForwardPDF function should support SyncTeX, but it doesn’t seem to work with ConTeXt at the time of writing === Kate & Okular === * You have to compile with <tt>--synctex=repeat</tt>** <code>context --synctex=repeat myfile.tex</code>* From Okular to Kate (forward search)** configuration > Configure Okular > Editor > Kate > <tt>kate --line %l --column %c</tt>** the current mode should be "browse" <tt>ctrl+1</tt>, not "area selection", nor "text selection" etc...** <tt>maj+clic</tt> will load the file in kate at the appropriate line* From Okular to Kate (inverse search)** no solution yet === Skim.app & TextMate (Mac OS MacOS X) ===
In Skim/Preferences/Sync choose TextMate. Key The key combination Shift+Apple+MouseClick
will bring you to the corresponding line in text editor.
In TextMate (see [[ConTeXt Bundle for TextMate]]) I have created my own command inside the ConTeXt bundle:
* '''Save''': Nothing
