Select a TSV file with the trackpad/mouse, then press Cmd-I, this will
bring up the properties dialog of the file.

You will see a dropdown list box called "Open with...". Choose the app
that you want to open this file with.

Now click on the Change/Apply to all button underneath the dropdown
list. That should propagate the change system-wide. Beware though, that
even this doesn't always work, especially if you have several programs
that are capable of reading the file type.

Calc can be launched directly from a Terminal with the following command
(adapted to the installation path of your LO installation) :

/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --calc

or alternatively :

open -a LibreOffice.app --args --calc
