smultron editor with ConTeXt also usable with MacTeX-TL?

Dag ok,

ConTeXt-garden suggests to use Smultron editor with Minimal-ConTeXt  
installation -
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ 
ConTeXt_Minimals#Smultron_installation_and_configuration
and gives some information about how to configure Smultron to work as  
an editor for ConTeXt.

Question:

Might it be worthwile to use Smultron (instead of TeXShop) as editor  
also with the Mac-TeX-TL installation which I have?

Then, how to adjust the configuration of Smultron in that case,
_instead_ of the following for Minimal-ConTeXt (quoted from that  
instruction):
----------------------------------------
4. Create a new command by pressing the "New Command" button and type  
a name (e.g. "minimalsTexexec"). Then, write in the text field at the  
bottom:

#!/bin/sh

cd /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/
. /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex /Applications/ 
ConTeXtMinimals/tex
cd %%d
texexec %%p
----------------------------------------

As far as I'm able to look after it, my TeXLife installation is  
located in:
/usr/local/texlive/2007
with ConTeXt scripts in:
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context

But I don't dare to adapt the Smultron configuration above without  
confirmation or alternative instruction ...

Or have I to decide wether to continue to use ConTeXt in MacTeX- 
TeXLife with TeXShop _OR_ to install Minimal-ConTeXt and use it with  
Smultron?

Goutgaun!

Hi Joachim,

Well, it's just a matter of taste: i.e. If you like Smultron more  
than TeXShop.

>

This means that Smultron must calls to use bash shell, i.e. it's like  
using Terminal

>
> cd /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/
> . /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex /Applications/ 
> ConTeXtMinimals/tex
> cd %%d
> texexec %%p

These lines are the ones you would write into Terminal, with some  
special syntax (%%d, %%p) allowed by Smultron.
(Please note that I'm pretty an ignorant about Smultron editing  
capabilites)

Well, you can try with no risks. Create a new command, try with to  
change the paths, if everything is wrong you simply delete the command.
No problems at all.

I have opted for Smultron so that I left my TeXLive distro (TeXShop  
included) untouched.
That was the rationale behind choosing Smultron.
In the future (if sooner or later someone explain me how to use  
fonts) my plan is to use Smultron+Minimals, leaving  TeXShop+TeXLive  
only for LaTeX (for paper proceedings)


Best
