Hello Idris,

I think Hans properties file is available in the ConTeXt distribution at
$TEXMF/context/data/context.properties
and the documentation is available in
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mscite.pdf

For utf: Open SciTE, chose Options->Open User Options File and add the line
code.page=65001
to that file.

I don't know what you like, but I have some other things there too:
use.monospaced=1
split.vertical=0
wrap=1

Good luck!
