It might make sense to not copy the files but symlink the folder (then it automatically receives updates).
i.e.
ln -s $TEXROOT/texmf-context/context/data/vacode/extensions/context ~/.vscode/extensions/

Don’t know how symlinking in Windows works, though.

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).
