"Open with" equivalent on Mac

I have a very simple problem and I thought the solution would be simple. However, I do not see any straightforward solution to this problem so far.

I have a CSV file and in Windows world you can always Shift + Right Click on this and it will give you option for Open With and you can view the same file in either Notepad++ or in Excel depending on your preference. On macOS I have a CSV file and that file is opened in Excel format no matter what I do. I am trying to view the file in Notepad without any luck.

Any ideas?


Solution 1:

In order to open a file with a specific program, you can right click the file and hover over the Open With menu item that appears.

First, find the file in Finder, then right click the file. From the top, the second option will be Open With. You can hover over that menu item to see a list of every app that the system knows can open that particular file.

At the very bottom of the menu containing the list of apps, there will be an item titled Other.... This allows you to choose any app on your Mac to open the file with.
