I haven't tried LMTX yet, but you may configure the path to the ConTeXt executable you want to use by setting `g:context_mtxrun`, e.g.: :let g:context_mtxrun='/path/to/context/mtxrun' Then, executing :ConTeXt will run the configured command. You may also define shell enviroment variables, if needed. For instance, I have configured Vim to use my installation of ConTeXt Beta as follows: :let g:context_mtxrun='PATH=$HOME/path/to/context-beta/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH mtxrun' > The installation works fine in TeXshop but still an error shows up in > macvim and the message dissappears very quick so there is not much > time to read the cause of error. You may show a log of Vim messages by typing :messages. If you post the error message, I may better diagnose your issue. > I have created the subdirectory .vim/ftplugin/ and put the context.vim file > there > also the corresponding in .vim/compiler/context.vim > > which is copied from the program located in > /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.2-163/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/runtime That's unnecessary. MacVim's runtime path is searched by default. I recommend that you remove the files that you have copied into ~/.vim. ConTeXt in Vim works out of the box.
