"Open With" dialog of a .txt file. Kate should be listed here.
SUMMARY
On macOS, Kate does not declare which file types it supports. The result is
that it does not appear in the "Open with" menu (see attachment) of files that
it supports, so it needs to be manually selected from the Applications folder,
which of course is a lot more cumbersome and time-consuming.
According to this
