Hi,

SyncTeX usually works for me, but I need to use
    context --synctex ...
(I don't know if --synctex=1 is supposed to work in ConTeX. I believe
that Hans changed the syntax.)

Enabling it inside the document doesn't work for me for some reason.
Hans suggested to put the command inside the first line (modeline or
however that one is called).

But "context --synctex filename.tex" generally works. It is not as
precise as it could be (it often knows only paragraphs, not individual
lines or characters, but that's ok given how much extra info would be
needed to store position of every character) and it doesn't know all
the elements (text on metafun figures and other weird elements might
not have a sync point), but I never experienced any really strange
behaviour or positioning discrepancies. I'm using Skim.app.

Did you actually forget a "t" at the end or did you just make an error
when copy-pasting?
