Windows 10: Set Kate Text editor as default app

I installed text editor kate using the windows 10 store. Kate does not show in the options to set default app for text files, I can't go to the location to manually set it because windows is blocking me from accessing windows store app folder Windowsapp. How can I access the folder or set up the app as default. Also when trying to open a file using "open with" there is no default for that extension, for example readme.md which is a text file, in the window that says "how do you want to open this file" the kate app does not show up but if I try using the option "look for another app in this pc", it ask to search for the app executable which is in the folder that I can't open. How can I solve it?

Text Editor on Webpage

I'm creating a website that requires an advanced text editor, similar to the word processor in Google docs. I'm planning on creating the editor from scratch, but I'm not sure what language to use. I was thinking of using a Java applet, but I'm open to other suggestions. Some of the features that are required are highlighting and drawing (such as Microsoft Paint). Any suggestions would be helpful.

 

How to set a Windows Store App as the default application for a file extension?

How do I set a Microsoft Windows Store App as the default application for files with a particular file extension? (On Microsoft Windows 10.)

Specifically, I want to set the Windows Store version of the KDE Advanced Text Editor (KATE) as the default application for MW (MediaWiki) sourcecode/plaintext files (e.g. "Main Page.mw"). I had this set up using the NT Windows desktop version of KATE,
but I can't get it working with the RT Windows Store version of KATE.

Kate | Get an Edge in Editing - Kate | Get an Edge in Editing

Going to (Windows Settings --> Apps --> Default Apps --> "choose default apps by file type" --> "MW file") only allows me to choose between Microsoft Notepad and "look for an app in the Microsoft Store." Going to the Microsoft Windows Store though doesn't
allow me to set KATE as the default application for MW files.

Trying to open an MW file with KATE doesn't work either. KATE integrates into the Microsoft Windows File Explorer by adding an option of "edit with KATE" to the right-click menu for files. This used to work with the NT Windows desktop version but doesn't
appear to work with the RT Windows Store version. Selecting ("open with..." --> "choose another app") offers ("C:\Program Files\Kate\bin\kate.exe" "%1") but doesn't work since that is the location of the uninstalled NT desktop version of KATE.

The RT version is instead under "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\" but I can't access this directory as Windows Administrator. Going to "more apps" --> "look for another app on this PC" doesn't give me access to add KATE (or any other Windows Store Apps) as
the default application.

If there's no easy solution for this, then I can uninstall the RT version and reinstall the NT version, but I would prefer the RT version since it is more secure and gets automatic updates.
