Turning synctex off is easy, The pdflatex-like engines have a flag<br>
<br>
--synctex=1<br>
<br>
Totally omitting this flag turns synctex off. The TeX + dvips + distiller engine is a script which<br>
passes some flags to the typesetter, using the phrase<br>
<br>
--extratexopts "-file-line-error -synctex=1"<br>
<br>
Removing -synctex=1 from this phrase turns synctex off.<br>
<br>
There are complications because you use ConTeXt. This system can typeset using several<br>
engines: pdfTeX, LuaTeX, etc. It is also updated regularly, so I don't know if you are using<br>
the version in TeXLive 2017 or a more recent beta..<br>
<br>
Hans Hagen wrote me saying that the engine flags are irrelevant for recent betas,<br>
and instead synctex is turned on or off using particular ConTeXt source commands.<br>
<br>
I therefore recommend contacting Hans directly to get the correct instructions for your particular<br>
versions of ConTeXt and Typesetting Engine.<br>
