At the end of the survey there was a 'what is the default binding to find a file' question. I wonder how many people don't know the answer to that question. I didn't. For Doom Emacs the binding is SPC f d. I've been using Doom for two years and before that I was using Spacemacs. I have no idea what the default bindings are.

I actually had to think about that one. It is ingrained so deeply into my muscle memory that I haven't actively thought about it in a long time.
This was definitely a bit weird for what seems like a question that was probably supposed to filter out malicious responses? I happen to still use the default binding but I could easily see myself forgetting if I happened to be an evil-mode person.
Hmmm, I've never used other flavors of Emacs, but in vanilla, whenever you press C-x C-f the prompt literally says "Find file:"
i've been using space p f in doom. space f d is find directory not file. space f f is find file

no clue what the default is.

Probably M-x f or something. I started using Doom after maybe a week of trying vanilla Emacs, so I can't remember.
C-x C-f is the default for find-file
