I've found manual text that says how to disable specific words from 
being hyphenated.


Is there a whole-document switch to disable it?


You can disable hyphenation with \setupalign[nothyphenated] but this 
setting alone isn't enough because now text tends to stick into the 
right margin. To get better result you have to combine it with other 
option like "tolerant" or "verytolerant".


The example below show also how you can use font enpansion in 
combination with a lesser tolerance value to align the text on both 
margins with result in smaller interword spacer than a larger tolerance 
value. You can combine this with font protrusion to move punctuation 
marks slightly into the margin area to have a better alignment of the 
text alone.


 begin example
\setupwhitespace[big]

\showframe[text][text]

\definefontfeature[default][default][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality]

\starttext

\type{alignment: default}

\samplefile{lorem}

\page

\type{alignment: nothyphenated}

\start \setupalign[nothyphenated]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stop

\page

\type{alignment: nothyphenated,flushleft}

\start \setupalign[nothyphenated,flushleft]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stop

\page

\type{alignment: nothyphenated,verytolerant}

\start \setupalign[nothyphenated,verytolerant]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stop

\page

\type{alignment: nothyphenated,tolerant,hz}

\start \setupalign[nothyphenated,tolerant,hz]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stop

\page

\type{alignment: nothyphenated,verytolerant,hanging}

\start \setupalign[nothyphenated,verytolerant,hanging]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stop

\page

\type{alignment: nothyphenated,tolerant,hz,hanging}

\start \setupalign[nothyphenated,tolerant,hz,hanging]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stop

\stoptext
 end example

[NTG-context] Re: How to disable hyphenation at the end of a line?

[Mikael Sundqvist]

Hi,

since it has to do with paragraph building and not with certain breaks
it is controlled by a demerits rather than a penalty, and there is, as
far as I know, no value that explicitly prohibits a hyphen at the last
line specifically (you can set the hyphenpenalty to 1 to avoid
hyphenations everywhere). In the total demerits calculation penalties
are more or less squared, so setting

\finalhyphendemerits

to a ridiculously high value might do, for most paragraphs.
