Menu
I'm used to press shift+F7 to switch between my code behind and the designer (which takes between 1 and 5 seconds to load) then I always have to click on View Xaml to modify my XAML code.
I don't find any shortcut in Tools/Options/Keyboard to go directly (from code behind to XAML code). How can I do that ?

To open this page, choose the Tools menu and then choose Options. To access the XAML Designer property page, choose the XAML Designer node. Settings for the XAML Designer are applied when you open the document. So, if you make changes to the settings, you need to close and then reopen Visual Studio to see the changes.
XAML is the language to build user interfaces for Windows and Mobile applications that use Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), UWP, and Xamarin Forms. The purpose of XAML is simple, to create user interfaces using a markup language that looks like XML.
In VS2008, while in code-behind of your XAML page (.xaml.cs), pressing SHIFT-F7 will take you to the XAML Designer or the XAML code page, depending on which one had the latest focus. Pressing SHIFT-F7 again will take you from the XAML code page to the designer and vice versa.
While in the XAML designer or XAML code page, pressing F7 takes you to the related code behind page.
UPDATE. Applicable for later versions (e.g. MS VS 2015 too).

I've finally found the solution for VS 2010:
F7: switch between Code Behind and XAML (Design or Markup depending on last used)
Shift+F7: switch between XAML (Design) and XAML (Markup).
F7 shortcut mapping should look like "View.ToggleDesigner (F7 (Global))"
Shift+F7 shortcut mapping should look like "View.ViewDesigner (Shift+F7 (Global))" and "View.ViewMarkup (Shift+F7 (HTML Source Editor View))" (two mappings for one shortcut).
