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.
These include the artboard (which is the visual design surface), XAML editor, Document Outline window (Objects and Timeline window in Blend for Visual Studio), and Properties window. To open the XAML Designer, right-click a XAML file in Solution Explorer and choose View Designer.
This brings up the class so you can click to view the class.
Yupp there sure is, just use Shift+F7 ;)
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
