Is it possible to open a file without using any special modes? I have a rust source code file that bogs down my LSP mode. Can I visit the file without loading any modes so I can quickly edit out the offending contents?
**Update**: `find-file-literally` did the trick! Plus, Avy still works. Thank you all!

you need to remove the rust entry from auto-mode-alist
and btw, I always keep vim around for this kind of jobs......

You can:
- `M-x find-file-literally`
- add [file-local variables](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/File-Variables.html) that enable or disable whatever you want
- add a [dir-locals.el](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Directory-Variables.html) file for settings that will be enabled for the entire directory

You woudl use a non-emacs to edit a file, while using Emacs? Seems crazy talk :O

Please take note of what this does, as it's *much* more than what was specifically asked for.
Refer to `C-h i g (elisp)Visiting Functions`

Just M-x term and run vim in there, that way you're still using emacs
