Unicode error prevents opening the scratchpad

[marcaube]

My scratchpad won't open anymore. It seems like the plugin has a problem with a unicode character I typed in my scratchpad the last time I used it.

Here's the error I got in the SublimeText console

Traceback (most recent call last):

@marcaube I encountered the same issue today. I'll take a look at the code and submit a PR in the next couple of days.

If you need to open the scratchpad file, follow this steps:

1. Paste this in the sublime console:

from sublime import packages_path
packages_path()[:-8]

# It should output something like /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/

2. Go to Finder > Go > Go To Folder and paste the path. The scratchpad.txt file should be there.

@Dascr32 for now, I've added a scratchpad alias to my terminal. It opens the scratchpad file with Sublime's binary.

scratchpad='subl ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/scratchpad.txt'
