Hi Alan, I have an almost identical set-up (M1, MacOS12.6, TexShop, useAlternatePath, useConTeXtSyncParser). One important difference, I use
sync method: SyncTeX (TeX ≥ 2010) I’d recommend trying that. There are some other differences in my setup that probably are not important. At the beginning of my files (products and components)I only use the two lines % !TEX useAlternatePath % !TEX useConTeXtSyncParser not the root and TS-program lines, but I don’t think that matters for your SynchTeX issue. Here is the engine I use for LMTX, just in case it has something helpful for you. #!/bin/zsh # # This engine uses TeXShop's "Alternate Path", which is the variable "$3" below. # Set the TeXShop's alternate path to your ConTeXt installation in # TeXShop's Preferences -> Engine -> Alternate Path # Start ConTeXt source files with the lines: # % !TEX useAlternatePath # % !TEX useConTeXtSyncParser export OSFONTDIR=/Library/Fonts/:/System/Library/Fonts:$HOME/Library/Fonts export PATH="$3":$PATH mtxrun --autogenerate --script context --synctex "$1” I put that long comment in the engine because I share it with collaborators. Hope that helps!
