Thanks, I reinstalled a later version of Textadept. I notice that it now opens the pdf product but in Xreader, the default on my machine, and that's no real problem, but now that I have got it working I can experiment a bit. Interesting, though, that the changes I made at your suggestion in l-pdfview.lua are not effective (I would have expected it to be okular). But I guess there is no harm done.

    Hmm. I'm not using evince (could, I suppose) but I see that in the
    file you mention there is already:

    ['okular']    = [[okular --unique "%filename%"]], and I have
    already adapted the init.lua file in /.texadept to use okular
    rather than sumatra, with textadept.run.compile_commands.tex =
    '/home/me/bin/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun --autogenerate
    --script context --autopdf=okular "%f"'

    So, following your logic, I should then only need to add, further
    on, pdfview.method = "okular", which I have done, but still no joy.

In such a case, you only need to comment on the second option, i. e. Sumatra:

    --The last one wins
    pdfview.method = "okular"
    --pdfview.method = "sumatra" -- faster and more complete

I haven't edited textadept settings btw, so it works for me with --autopdf alone.

    Hi. Maybe there's an easier way to do it without changing any
    file or via mtxrun's command line, but the following is what I do:

    In l-pdfview.lua (mkiv folder, lines from 38) PDF view options
    are available. I've added

    ['evince']    = [[evince "%filename%"]] -- My favorite viewer

    And then, after pdfview.method assignments,

    pdfview.method = "evince"

    Now textadept opens the .tex file once compiled. I don't know if
    making the format again is mandatory, but it doesn't hurt,
    anyways. I hope this helps.
    Best regards,

        The occasional response to a similar question can be found,
        e.g. on
        stackexchange, but none of the responses work for me.

        Textadept is very fast at compiling (and does compile
        correctly). I can
        certainly open the pdf independently in various pdf viewers,
        but I
        cannot get Textadept to automatically open, say, Okular
        (installed on
        Linux Mint), at the end of the process.

        The last part of the log reads:

        mkiv lua stats  > runtime: 0.640 seconds, 8 processed pages,
        8 shipped
        pages, 12.492 pages/second
        mtx-context     | pdfview methods: auto default okular pdfxcview
        sumatra, current method: okular (directives_pdfview_method)
        pdfview         | command: okular --unique "test1.pdf"
        1>/dev/null
        2>/dev/null &
        mtx-context     | pdfview overhead: 0.001 seconds
        system          | total runtime: 0.649 seconds of 0.701 seconds

         > exit status: 0

        Have tried setting up a custom text editor on okular with:
        /home/me/.textadept "%f" -e
        textadept.editing.goto_line(%l-1), as
        suggested by one response, but to no avail. Current version
        of ConTeXt
        is 2021.09.17 10:01

        Anyone tried Textadept successfully and might have a suggestion?

        Julian
