I’ve been trying to define a layout that just has a 5mm no-printing edge around the paper and has all the rest for \textwidth and \textheight. No header, footer, pagenumber, etc. Just as much space as I can get out of a standard A4.
But the following (following the manual and ConTeXtgarden):
\setuplayout[leftedge=5mm,top=5mm,rightedge=5mm,bottom=5mm,
leftmargin=0mm,rightmargin=0mm,
margindistance=0mm,edgedistance=0mm,
topdistance=0mm,headerdistance=0mm,footerdistance=0mm,bottomdistance=0mm]
\showlayoutcomponents % doesn’t seem to do anything
\showframe % this works
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext
Doesn’t seem to change the layout. What am I missing?

You're changing the wrong values.
What you have to change are the backspace, topspace, header and footer
values.
\setuplayout
[backspace=5mm,
width=middle,
topspace=5mm,
height=middle,
header=0pt,
footer=0pt]
\showframe[text]
\starttext
\page[dummy]
\stoptext
Can you also use the predefined page layout which sets all values to 0pt
and uses all available space, to get margin increase the backspace and
topspace values.
\setuplayout
[page]
[backspace=5mm,
topspace=5mm]
\setuplayout [page]
\showframe[text]
\starttext
\page[dummy]
\stoptext
Another even short setup is when you use the predefined tight layout
which has a default value of 5mm for all margins.
\setuplayout [tight]
\showframe[text]
\starttext
\page[dummy]
\stoptext
