Please find a way to let me associate the Text Editor with any .txt file.

Expected behaviour
Right-click and "open as" or dimply double-clicking any text file
should 1) open Text Editor
and 2) Text Editor should subsequently open the selected .txt file

Actual current behaviour
Right click open-as / double-click .txt files opens Tex Editor with an empty screen. The actual selected .txt doc does not get openend

What's scary is that... I think this is possible.

Cool! That makes it much easier to use Chrome for a lot of stuff. How do I enable this then?

It would require enabling another experimental Chromium flag, and the author designing the application to allow this.

Currently, it's not setup to actually use it, and he might not do it, since it's intended to just be a simple demo to show off a proposal.

Who knows, they might take sometime later to do this.

I am maintaining a separate fork of this project, heavily optimized for performance, which I plan to update and improve.
After creating a solution for another issue here (#27), and submitting a PR here, I'll probably look into that, because I personally wanted to use this app like a native app too!
