How can I set TextMate as default text editor on Mac OS X?
I've tried it with
Image Editor For Mac Free
but that doesn't work.

Just right (or control) click a file of the type you want to change and:
'Get Info' -> 'Open with:' -> (Select TextMate) -> 'Change All'
The method through Finder is not practical. If you're a developer, your files likely include .profile, .gitconfig, .bashrc, .bash_profile, .htdocs, etc.
The best way to do this is in Bash (for Sublime Text 3):
For other text editors, I assume you can replace 'com.sublimetext.3' with the proper string. You could probably Google for your text editor's name + 'LSHandlerContentType=public.plain-text' to figure out what your app's string would be.
For me, this changed the defaults for both Finder, and

Have you modified your shell PATH environment variable to include ~/bin? That directory is usually not included in PATH by default on OS X. It might be simpler to create the symlink in /usr/local/bin which is usually included in PATH. Try:

To change the default text editor across the board, use the aforementioned method (i.e., 'Get Info' → 'Open with:' → (editor of choice) → 'Change All') on .txt files. Then it will be used as the default editor for any text-based file that doesn't yet have an application preference for its extension.
For instance, if you use the terminal, the command open -t will use your preferred text editor, which is whatever application is associated with .txt files. By default this is (you guessed it) TextEdit, unless you explicitly specify otherwise.

Windows 10’s next major release will be themed as “Creator’s Update.” Microsoft showed off the update this past October. One of the biggest change from “Creator’s Update” is the new 3D Paint app, that allows you to create and turn a regular 2D picture into 3D images. It’s going to replace Microsoft’s decade-old paint app that’s built-in from Windows.
As a result, when the Creator’s Update Windows 10 comes out next spring 2017, any photo “edit” action in Windows 10 will be replaced and open by a whole new Paint 3D app. If you are running the latest Windows 10 insider preview, this change has probably already arrived.
How To Change the “Edit” menu to open photos with a different default Editor
We’ve covered this trick before. However, the old method required the use of Regedit to hunt down a specific path and hack the Windows registry. This new method, thanks to one of the commenter, we no longer need to use the Regedit.
Download this app called “Default Programs Editor” requires no installation, run and follow the steps. For us, we want to select File Type Settings, “Edit the default program, context menu, description and icon of file types.” The Edit button is a part of the right-click context menu that would appear for any images.
Next, select “Context Menu,” The default program and right click menu.
Search for jpe or jpeg extensions
Edit the “Edit” Command to select a different Program, choose “Edit Selected Command..”
Under the Program path, select Browse and select the new program you want pictures to be default Edit in.
In our case, we will replace the default Paint 3D to Paint.NET.
Click Next to continue.
Now the Edit action should be showing the new photo editor. In our case, we replaced it with paint.NET. You can also choose other image editors such as Adobe Photoshop to be the default Editor.
Next, we want to confirm that this change also applies to all other image file extensions such as PNG format.
That’s it. Now we have confirmed and successfully changed the default photo edit action in Windows 10 from the Paint 3D to paint.NET all without touching the regedit.exe. However, keep in mind that this doesn’t mean the Windows registry hasn’t been manipulated, this Default Program Editor only provided an easier UI for the same underlying change as if we were going to use the regedit.exe method.
