With Vim I need to read the docs of plugins, configure the plugins, remember what are the keyboard shortcuts for spell-checking, etc. I should maybe try GVim instead of using Vim in a terminal. Or Neovim. I've tried to install scite and textadept, but on Linux it's a bit difficult with Scintillua. And I'm not sure that command completion is supported. BTW I'm the author of GNOME LaTeX ;-) https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/GNOME-LaTeX (this text editor supports only LaTeX, unfortunalety). If I have the time I would like to implement a new text editor specialized for TeX and ConTeXt.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt support for Atom or other text editors

To have command completion, there is this project that can be used with various text editors or IDEs that support the language server protocol: https://github.com/astoff/digestif I suppose that Atom supports the language server protocol. Digestif has support for ConTeXt too, not just LaTeX. With Atom is there spell-checking? Without marking TeX/ConTeXt commands as misspelled? - I'm actually looking for a text editor on Linux that supports those three features: - syntax highlighting - command completion - spell-checking Does it exist? The following wiki page doesn't list spell-checking, and doesn't list command completion separately from syntax highlighting: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Text_Editors I'm learning a little ConTeXt and I have some struggle to find a text editor.
