You can use any text editor for creating a source file for ConTeXt. A lot of editors provide generic TeX syntax highlighting (not based on a word list). But some have a bit more support for ConTeXt:
Editor | features | Linux | Windows | MacOS X | Remarks |
Emacs with AUCTeX | SU+? | y | y | y | Only the current developer version of AUCTeX has ConTeXt support. Berend de Boers ConTeXt mode for Emacs has been merged with the former ConTeXt support in AUCTeX by Patrick Gundlach. |
Vim | SU2+? | y | y | y | No special support for context. Has syntax highlighting support for tex, but no specific syntax highlighting or indent support for context is available. The is no support for compiling withing vim, latex-suite currently does not support context :( |
SciTE | CSU | y | y | y (X11) | ConTeXt support not before v1.6.x. ConTeXt support files come with the ConTeXt distribution in directory context/data/context.properties. See also the manual mcite.pdf SciTE on MacOSX 10.3 is Adam's quick-and-dirty port of SciTE to Panther/X11. |
TeXshop | C?PSTU? | n | n | y (native) | Simple Cocoa IDE |
gedit | SU2? | y | n | y (X11) | GNOME editor |
klat | STU2? | y | n | y (X11) | KDE editor, based on kate |
iTeXMac | C?SPTU+ | n | n | y (native) | Complex Cocoa IDE; doesn't like tabulated source! |

- P = PDF preview
- S = TeX/ConTeXt syntax highlighting
- T = ConTeXt typesetting
- U = Unicode (UTF-8) handling
- 2 = bidirectional edit (right-to-left)
- + = more…
