Hi!

To make a symlink worked well here, in the sense that I got a context
extension in vs code, and when opening a context file it was recognized as
such. I could go into the extension settings and enable color syntax.
Questions:

1) Is there a way to get autocompletion on all context commands (not only
the ones I have in the document)? If so, how?
2) Is there a nice way to compile the tex file from within vs code? As of
now, I opened a terminal and compiled from that, but that feels like the
wrong way of doing it.

I'm on linux and with the latest standalone (lmtx if that matters).
