Infinite Loop Issue

#1

New to Sublime, here. I was recently practicing writing functions with Sublime and accidentally sent myself into an infinite loop. I am struggling to get the editor to work because each time I reopen, Sublime opens to the file with the infinite loop, despite:

1. shutting down my Mac, restarting,
2. using keyboard shortcuts (control q, control c, opt-command-esc)
3. reopening Sublime and quickly aiming for the File dropdown box and selecting 'Close All Files'.

Any ideas? Thanks

Solved my own issue. If anyone else has had this issue here’s the solution if you’re on Mac:

Finder -> got to folder (drop down) -> enter “~/Library/” -> application support -> sublime text 3 -> packages -> user -> find the file -> open with text editor -> “”" delete the lines of code where issue began""" -> actions -> save

I am facing this issue after running the below Python script

while True:
           print("Something")

I deleted the file I was working on, I tried uninstalling it, I deleted the AppData/Local/Sublime Text 3 Folder but the issue still persists, is there a workaround to resolve this issue?

I will appreciate your help.

Regards.

The menu option Tools -> Cancel Build should be available for you when you run an infinity script.

Alternately, you can directly kill the process by your process manager like:
