How to get vanilla find-file in Spacemacs

Question

How to get the plain old find-files from vanilla emacs in spacemacs?

Answer 1

You can manually call find-file like this:

M-: (call-interactively 'find-file)

But you would want to bind to a key by defining a function:

(defun native-find-file ()
  "Native Emacs find-file."
  (interactive)
  (call-interactively 'find-file))
(define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "SPC f `") 'native-find-file)

Spacemacs way to define key:

(spacemacs/set-leader-keys "f`" 'native-find-file)
