Yupp there sure is, just use Shift+F7 ;)
Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch between XAML and Designer in VS 2012?

When switching from a code file to a XAML file in Visual Studio 2012, the focus goes to the designer. If I want to edit the XAML (which is 99% of the time), I need to use the mouse to move the focus to the XAML code/markup window. Is there a way to move focus to the XAML without the mouse?
NOTE: There are similar questions in SO, but they deal with moving between code behind and XAML designer.

For 99% of the times, you may want to set it to default
I don't know about other version, but in Visual Studio 2010, from the menu bar select Tools → Options..., from the dialog, select Text Editor → XAML → Miscellaneous, tick the Always open documents in full XAML view. Now everytime an XAML file is double clicked, it'll open in XAML (code) view, not design view.
I hope the image is not too big
If Shift
+ F7
doesn't work right away then you may need to re-assign the context for which the keyboard shortcut applies. When I tried this in VS 2017 I had to go in and re-assign the shortcut by using the following steps:
- Tools > Options
- In the popup menu select Environment > Keyboard in the side bar
- Type
View.ViewDesigner
in the search bar - Open the menu under Use new shortcut in:
- Select
Text Editor
from the menu, enter desired shortcut into the assignment bar, and click assign - Select
XAML Designer
from the menu, enter desired shortcut into the assignment bar, and click assign - Click
OK
to apply the changes and exit the options menu
NOTE: You must do both Text Editor
and XAML Designer
in order to get this to work well. The image below shows the result of the above steps.
