Hi Nicola,
I do use ConTeXt with TeXShop on MacOS, and I use extensively synctex.
Indeed there has been a big change in synctex a few years ago, since the «
classic » synctex code by Jérôme Laurens was changed, and more or less at the
same time Hans introduced independently a new synctex setup (and code) for
ConTeXt.
Richard Koch added a special syntex code in TeXShop in order to use the changes
introduced by Hans. Richard added also a special menu item in the Macros menu
of TeXShop which adds the line
% !TEX useOldSyncParser
in your source file.
Now, that being said, in order to use synctex in TeXShop and ConTeXt, you have
to add the following two lines at the top of your source file:
% !TEX useOldSyncParser
\setupsynctex[state=start,method=min] % or method=max
Then you typeset your file and you can get the usual synctex behaviour
(however, for some unknown reason it may happen that the first time you typeset
your file with the above two lines, you don't get the synctex working: you have
to quit TeXShop and open again your file and then synctex works fine…).
Best regards: OK
